Abstract excerpt
In the presence of gametic phase disequilibrium and inbreeding, multiple locus genotype frequencies cannot be written solely in terms of identity by descent (IBD) probabilities. Following Cockerham & Weir (1973) we introduce the concept of 'equivalence by descent' (EBD), an extension of the concept of IBD to include non-allelic genes. Two genes are said to be EBD if they derive ultimately from the same founding...
