Utility of inbreeding coefficient and sire as predictors for osteochondrosis risk in Standardbred horses
… effects on risk of OC have been reported, but inbreeding coefficient has not been examined as predictor for genetic risk of disease. We investigated this in a cohort of 910 Standardbred yearlings fluoroscopically screened for osteochondral fragments. Controls (n = 545) were defined as horses …

The generalized inbreeding coefficient and the generalized heterozygosity index in a recurrent selection program
Methods of calculating the inbreeding coefficient In a finite population undergoing recurrent selection (self-select-intercross in succeeding generations) were investigated. It was noted that, in a population under selection, the inbreeding coefficient does not provide the experimenter with a …

Genetic structure of Pseudoroegneria spicata in the Northern Palouse Prairie and Channeled Scablands
… Prairie and two commercial sources. I calculated inbreeding coefficient, conducted principal component analyses, and used Bayesian cluster analysis to test for inbreeding, differentiation of populations, and relatedness of native propagule sources. Pseudoroegneria spicata differentiated along a …

Variance Components of litter size in Icelandic farmed mink (Neovison vison)
… was used to estimate pedigree structure. Average inbreeding was low (0.015). Data suggests that inbreeding is underestimated with the current data recording system. Average inbreeding coefficient decreases after the onset of large scale import of Danish male. The Danish males enter the system as …

Temporal Comparisons on the Genetic Variation of the Dusky Gopher Frog (Lithobates sevosus)
… heterozygosity, allelic richness, and Wright's inbreeding coefficient were calculated for each year and differences between sample years were assessed. Additionally, overall and pair-wise FST values were calculated to test for temporal genetic structuring. To estimate effective population size, …

Genetic admixture of Kruger National Park black rhino (Diceros bicornis minor): conservation implications
… data on levels of diversity, relatedness and inbreeding in a large, free-ranging black rhinoceros population. Here I attempt to address this gap in our knowledge by investigating the genetic diversity of the black rhinoceros Diceros bicornis minor within Kruger National Park (the largest …

Genetic variation within the Icelandic cattle breed: assessment using microsatellites and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Leptin and DGAT1 genes
… and parentage testing. Average within population inbreeding coefficient of Icelandic cattle ranged between 8.8 and 9.7% for the three approaches applied and the effective number of individuals was estimated to be 111 individuals (lower and upper 95% confidence limits set as 99.76 and 127.39, …

Linkage mapping in tetraploid blackberry (Rubus spp.) using high-throughput genomic sequencing and restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq)
… of observation-based estimates for the inbreeding coefficients for both cultivars: 0.04554 for ‘Chester Thornless’ and 0.04235 for ‘Prime-Jim’ at a predicted maximum.
