Abstract excerpt
Knowledge about the relationships between relatives for X-chromosomal loci is necessary to compute genetic variances and covariances for the genetic evaluation of individuals for economically important traits in livestock and poultry. Using a unified approach, we derived explicitly the coefficient of inbreeding for individuals and the coefficient of coancestry between collateral and lineal relatives of the same...
