Investigating inbreeding in the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) genome
Poultry Science, 2021 : The detrimental effects of increased homozygosity due to inbreeding have prompted the development of methods to reduce inbreeding. The detection of runs of homozygosity (ROH), or contiguous stretches of homozygous marker genotypes, can be used to ...

The inbreeding coefficients of the Hadza
Annals of Human Biology, 1977 A systematic tabulation is provided of the frequency of different types of inbreeding in the Hadza. Genealogical information was obtained for 931 individuals, alive and dead. Inbreeding was encountered with 165 individuals. There were 49 different types of inbred genealogy.

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020 Background Inbreeding is caused by mating between related individuals and is associated with reduced fitness and performance (inbreeding depression). Several studies have detected heterogeneity in inbreeding depression among founder individuals. Recently,

Pedigree and marker information requirements to monitor genetic variability
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003 There are several measures available to describe the genetic variability of populations. The average inbreeding coefficient of a population based on pedigree information is a frequently chosen option.

The effect of inbreeding rate on fitness, inbreeding depression and heterosis over a range of inbreeding coefficients [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2014 AbstractUnderstanding the effects of inbreeding and genetic drift within populations and hybridization between genetically differentiated populations is important for many basic and applied questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. The magnitudes and even the directions of these effects can be influenced by various factors, especially by the ...

Characterisation of runs of homozygosity and inbreeding coefficients in the red-brown Korean native chickens [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective The analysis of runs of homozygosity (ROH) has been applied to assess the level of inbreeding and identify selection signatures in various livestock species.
