Inbreeding depression in red deer calves [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Understanding the fitness consequences of inbreeding is of major importance for evolutionary and conservation biology. However, there are few studies using pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding or investigating the influence of environment ...

Inbreeding affected differently on observations distribution of a growth trait in Iranian Baluchi sheep [PDF]

Animal Bioscience, 2021
Objective Initial consequence of inbreeding is inbreeding depression which impairs the performance of growth, production, health, fertility and survival traits in different animal breeds and populations. The effect of inbreeding on economically important

Rank-invariant estimation of inbreeding coefficients [PDF]

Heredity, 2021
AbstractThe two alleles an individual carries at a locus are identical by descent (ibd) if they have descended from a single ancestral allele in a reference population, and the probability of such identity is the inbreeding coefficient of the individual.

Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using
