Epistatic kinship a new measure of genetic diversity for short-term phylogenetic structures--theoretical investigations.

Abstract excerpt

The epistatic kinship describes the probability that chromosomal segments of length x in Morgan are identical by descent. It is an extension from the single locus consideration of the kinship coefficient to chromosomal segments. The parameter reflects the number of meioses separating individuals or populations. Hence it is suggested as a measure to quantify the genetic distance of subpopulations that have been...
