Here, we study ID with different estimators of the inbreeding coefficient F, evaluate their sensitivity to used allele frequencies (founder versus sample allele frequencies), and compare effects from recent and ancient inbreeding. METHODS: We used data from 14,205 Belgian Blue beef cattle genotyped...
