Abstract excerpt
In mammalian genetics and perhaps in human genetics as well, it is an interesting question as to how many offspring are needed in order to have a desired chance of preserving part of the entire genome of an individual. A more practical and perhaps more important question is: given k children and DNA marker data on a particular region of interest, what proportion of one's genes has been actually passed on to his...
