Inzuchtgrades
Inzuchtgrad (English: coefficient of inbreeding) is a genetic measure that quantifies the probability that two alleles at a given locus in an individual are identical by descent from a common ancestor. It is used to describe the degree of relatedness produced by mating between relatives and is commonly denoted by F. Higher Inzuchtgrade indicate greater homozygosity and a greater chance that recessive alleles will be expressed.
Calculation of the Inzuchtgrad can be done from pedigrees using formulas derived by Sewall Wright, which account
The concept is important in animal and plant breeding, conservation genetics, and human population studies. Elevated
Limitations of the measure include dependence on pedigree completeness for pedigree-based estimates and sensitivity to marker
