  • MOLECULAR FINGERPRINTING TO IDENTIFY INBREEDING AND OUTBREEDING DEPRESSIONS
    Publication number: 20140121984
    Abstract: Systems and methods for molecular fingerprinting to identify Inbreeding and Outbreeding Depression Factors (IODFs) in an animal are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods receive inputs such as information pertaining to a set of loci, allele quantity and size, genotype, and/or so on. The systems and methods calculate, based on at least a subset of inputs and a set of microsatellite markers, an IODF. The systems and methods evaluate the calculated IODF to determine if the animal is a suitable/good candidate for a breeding program.
