Identity by descent estimation with dense genome-wide genotype data.
We present a novel method, IBDLD, for estimating the probability of identity by descent (IBD) for a pair of related individuals at a locus, given dense genotype data and a pedigree of arbitrary size and complexity. IBDLD overcomes the challenges of exact multipoint estimation of IBD in pedigrees of potentially large size and eliminates the difficulty of accommodating the background linkage dise...
متن کاملBayesian mapping of quantitative trait loci under the identity-by-descent-based variance component model.
Variance component analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is an important strategy of genetic mapping for complex traits in humans. The method is robust because it can handle an arbitrary number of alleles with arbitrary modes of gene actions. The variance component method is usually implemented using the proportion of alleles with identity-by-descent (IBD) shared by relatives. As a result, ...
متن کاملThe variance of identity-by-descent sharing in the Wright-Fisher model.
Widespread sharing of long, identical-by-descent (IBD) genetic segments is a hallmark of populations that have experienced recent genetic drift. Detection of these IBD segments has recently become feasible, enabling a wide range of applications from phasing and imputation to demographic inference. Here, we study the distribution of IBD sharing in the Wright-Fisher model. Specifically, using coa...
متن کاملWhole genome Identity-by-Descent determination
High-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assays conveniently produce genotype data for genome-wide genetic linkage and association studies. For pedigree datasets, the unphased genotype data is used to infer the haplotypes for individuals, according to Mendelian inheritance rules. Linkage studies can then locate putative chromosomal regions based on the haplotype allele sharing ...
متن کاملPrediction of multilocus identity-by-descent.
Previous studies have enabled exact prediction of probabilities of identity-by-descent (IBD) in random-mating populations for a few loci (up to four or so), with extension to more using approximate regression methods. Here we present a precise predictor of multiple-locus IBD using simple formulas based on exact results for two loci. In particular, the probability of non-IBD X(ABC) at each of or...
