A Spectral Theory for Wright’s Inbreeding Coefficients and Related Quantities [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2020
Abstract Wright’s inbreeding coefficient, F ST , is a fundamental measure in population genetics. Assuming a predefined population subdivision, this statistic is classically used to evaluate population structure at a given genomic locus. With large numbers of loci,

Estimation of inbreeding effect on conception in Czech Holstein

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The influence of calculated inbreeding coefficients on the conception of heifers and cows was analysed by a two-trait binary model for conceived/not conceived after each insemination on 677 234 Czech Holstein cows and heifers with 3 248 299 insemination ...

Simultaneous Estimation of Null Alleles and Inbreeding Coefficients [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Heredity, 2008
Although microsatellites are a very efficient tool for many population genetics applications, they may occasionally produce "null" alleles, which, when present in high proportion, may affect estimates of key parameters such as inbreeding and relatedness coefficients or measures of genetic differentiation.

Multi‐tissue Metabolic GWAS and Drought‐Responsive Multi‐omics Reveal the Genetic Basis of the Quinoa Metabolome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multi‐omics framework combining multitissue genome‐wide association studies, metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and functional validation uncovers the genetic basis of specialized metabolism in quinoa. The study identifies hundreds of metabolite‐associated loci, prioritizes candidate genes for saponin, betalain, and flavonoid biosynthesis ...

The role of inbreeding in the extinction of a European royal dynasty. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The kings of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty (1516-1700) frequently married close relatives in such a way that uncle-niece, first cousins and other consanguineous unions were prevalent in that dynasty.

EXACT INBREEDING COEFFICIENTS IN POPULATIONS WITH OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1978
ABSTRACT A theory is given that allows inbreeding coefficients to be calculated exactly for populations with overlapping generations. Emphasis is placed on providing equations well suited for computer iteration. Both monoecious and dioecious populations are considered and family size is not restricted to being Poisson.

Livestock Multi‐Omics Integration: A Systematic Framework From Statistical Association to Causal Interpretation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A three‐tier livestock multi‐omics framework resolves four typical analytical pitfalls. Moving from statistical association through machine learning preprocessing to triple‐modal causal inference, it converts omics results into genomic selection and gene editing strategies to achieve One Health, underpinned by multi‐omics data, multimodal sequencing ...

The effect of inbreeding on the growth ability of meat sheep breeds in the Czech Republic

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2021
The aim of this study was to present the trend of inbreeding and to estimate the effect of inbreeding on the growth ability of lambs in the three most common sire breeds in the Czech Republic: Suffolk (SF; n = 49 345), Charollais (CH; n = 14 189) and ...

Revised Calculation of Kalinowski’s Ancestral and New Inbreeding Coefficients [PDF]

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
To test for the presence of purging in populations, the classical pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient (F) can be decomposed into Kalinowski’s ancestral (FANC) and new (FNEW) inbreeding coefficients. The FANC and FNEW can be calculated by a stochastic approach known as gene dropping.
