Variation in genetic identity among relatives.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Guo S W

Abstract excerpt

Genetic identity, or genetic relatedness, among relatives, is a key concept in kin recognition, which in turn is important in models for inclusive fitness and inbreeding avoidance. A mathematical definition is presented for the genetic identity based on the proportion of genome shared identical by descent by two relatives. The method of Guo [Am J Hum Genet 1995;56:1468-1476] is used to compute the variance of the...
