On the prediction of simultaneous inbreeding coefficients at multiple loci
Genetical Research, 2004 A new deterministic method for predicting simultaneous inbreeding coefficients at three and four loci is presented. The method involves calculating the conditional probability of IBD (identical by descent) at one locus given IBD at other loci, and multiplying this probability by the prior probability of the latter loci being simultaneously IBD.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Predicting rates of inbreeding: in populations undergoing selection [PDF]
, 2000 Tractable forms of predicting rates of inbreeding (Delta F) in selected populations with general indices, nonrandom mating, and overlapping generations were developed, with the principal results assuming a period of equilibrium in the selection process ...

Inverse inbreeding coefficient problems with an application to linkage analysis of recessive diseases in inbred populations [PDF]
, 2000 Medical geneticists connect relatives having the same disease into a family structure called a pedigree. Genetic linkage analysis uses pedigrees to find the approximate chromosomal locations of disease-causing genes. The problem of choosing a pedigree is

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.
