Abstract excerpt
High-throughput shotgun sequence data make it possible in principle to accurately estimate population genetic parameters without confounding by SNP ascertainment bias. One such statistic of interest is the proportion of heterozygous sites within an individual's genome, which is informative about inbreeding and effective population size. However, in many cases, the available sequence data of an individual are...
