Differences in estimates of genomic and conventional inbreeding-Reasons and implications.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic inbreeding coefficients, when calculated in a way to reflect the true level of homozygosity of an individual at genomic markers, result in considerably higher inbreeding trends per year at a population level when compared with pedigree-based estimates. Using data from dual-purpose Fleckvieh cattle, we compare inbreeding trends and estimates of inbreeding-effective population sizes calculated from genomic...
