Abstract excerpt
The 'spatial' pattern of the correlation of pairwise relatedness among loci within a chromosome is an important aspect for an insight into genomic evolution in natural populations. In this article, a statistical genetic method is presented for estimating the correlation of pairwise relatedness among linked loci. The probabilities of identity-in-state (IIS) are related to the probabilities of identity-by-descent...
