On the use of dense SNP marker data for the identification of distant relative pairs.

Abstract excerpt

There has been recent interest in the exploitation of readily available dense genome scan marker data for the identification of relatives. However, there are conflicting findings on how informative these data are in practical situations and, in particular, sets of thinned markers are often used with no concrete justification for the chosen spacing. We explore the potential usefulness of dense single nucleotide...
