A whole-genome-based approach for estimation and characterization of individual inbreeding

2017-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding results from the mating of related individuals and has negative consequence because it brings together deleterious variants in one individual. Inbreeding is associated with recessive diseases and reduced production or fitness. In general, inbreeding is estimated with respect to a base population that needs to be defined.
