Abstract excerpt
Inbreeding can have negative effects, such as increasing the expression of deleterious alleles or reducing fitness. A method based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) was developed to determine the probability of an individual genome in a homozygous-by-descent state (HBD). As a result of an experiment of divergent selection for birth weight environmental variability two lines were created: high variability line...
