Unbiased relatedness estimation in structured populations.

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the genetic relatedness between individuals is important in many research areas in quantitative genetics, conservation genetics, forensics, evolution, and ecology. In the absence of pedigree records, relatedness can be estimated from genetic marker data using a number of estimators. These estimators, however, make the critical assumption of a large random mating population without genetic structures....
