Measuring individual inbreeding in the age of genomics: marker-based measures are better than pedigrees.

Heredity - 1 Jul 2015

Kardos M, Luikart G, Allendorf F W

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding (mating between relatives) can dramatically reduce the fitness of offspring by causing parts of the genome to be identical by descent. Thus, measuring individual inbreeding is crucial for ecology, evolution and conservation biology. We used computer simulations to test whether the realized proportion of the genome that is identical by descent (IBDG) is predicted better by the pedigree inbreeding...
