A note on effective population size with overlapping generations.
A simple derivation is given for a formula obtained previously for the effective size of random-mating populations with overlapping generations. The effective population size is the same as that for a population with discrete generations having the same variance of lifetime family size and the same number of individuals entering the population per generation.
متن کاملInbreeding effective population size and parentage analysis without parents.
An important use of genetic parentage analysis is the ability to directly calculate the number of offspring produced by each parent (k(i)) and hence effective population size, N(e). But what if parental genotypes are not available? In theory, given enough markers, it should be possible to reconstruct parental genotypes based entirely on a sample of progeny, and if so the vector of parental k(i)...
متن کاملInbreeding and effective population size of Japanese Black cattle.
The objective of this research was to estimate the amount of inbreeding and effective population size of the Japanese Black breed using pedigree records from bulls and heifers registered between 1985 and 1997. Inbreeding was quantified by three F-statistics: actual inbreeding, inbreeding expected under random mating, and inbreeding due to population subdivision. During the period of 1985 to 199...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Estimates of Coancestry, Inbreeding and Effective Population Size in the Spanish Holstein Population
Estimates of effective population size in the Holstein cattle breed have usually been low despite the large number of animals that constitute this breed. Effective population size is inversely related to the rates at which coancestry and inbreeding increase and these rates have been high as a consequence of intense and accurate selection. Traditionally, coancestry and inbreeding coefficients ha...
متن کاملgesp: A computer program for modelling genetic effective population size, inbreeding and divergence in substructured populations
The genetically effective population size (Ne ) is of key importance for quantifying rates of inbreeding and genetic drift and is often used in conservation management to set targets for genetic viability. The concept was developed for single, isolated populations and the mathematical means for analysing the expected Ne in complex, subdivided populations have previously not been available. We r...
