Abstract excerpt
The consequences of inbreeding for fitness are important in evolutionary and conservation biology, but can critically depend on genetic purging. However, estimating purging has proven elusive. Using PURGd software, we assess the performance of the Inbreeding-Purging (IP) model and of ancestral inbreeding (Fa) models to detect purging in simulated pedigreed populations, and to estimate parameters that allow...
