Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two individuals with a first-degree relationship share about 50 percent of their alleles. Parent-offspring relationships cannot be homozygous for alternative alleles (genetic exclusion). METHODS: Applying the concept of genetic exclusion to HD arrays typed in animals for experimental purposes or genomic selection allows estimation of the rate of rejection of first-degree relationships as the rate at...
