Informativeness of genetic markers for pairwise relationship and relatedness inference.

Abstract excerpt

Measuring the information content of markers in relationship/relatedness inferences is important in selecting highly informative markers to attain a given statistical power with the minimal genotyping effort. Using information-theoretic principles, I introduce the informativeness for relationship (I(R)) and the informativeness for relatedness (I(r)) to measure the amount of information provided by markers in...
