Reconstructing sibling relationships in wild populations
Reconstruction of sibling relationships from genetic data is an important component of many biological applications. In particular, the growing application of molecular markers (microsatellites) to study wild populations of plant and animals has created the need for new computational methods of establishing pedigree relationships, such as sibgroups, among individuals in these populations. Most ...
متن کاملError tolerant sibship reconstruction in wild populations.
Kinship analysis using genetic data is important for many biological applications, including many in conservation biology. Wide availability of microsatellites has boosted studies in wild populations that rely on the knowledge of kinship, particularly sibling relationships (sibship). While there exist many methods for reconstructing sibling relationships, almost none account for errors and muta...
متن کاملCombinatorial Reconstruction of Sibling Relationships
We present a new algorithm for reconstructing sibling relationships in a single generation of individuals without parental information, using data from codominant DNA markers such as microsatellites. We use the simple genetic constraints on the full-sibling groups, imposed by the Mendelian inheritance rules, and combinatorial optimization techniques to extract a minimum number of consistent sib...
متن کاملQuality of Parent-Child and Sibling Relationships in Families of Children with Symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Background and Purpose: Oppositional defiant disorder is one of the most common behavioral disorders in children, which causes severe destruction of the child's interpersonal relationships. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the parent-child and sibling relationships quality in families with and without children with symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder. Method: The design...
متن کاملColumn-Generation Framework of Nonlinear Similarity Model for Reconstructing Sibling Groups
Establishing family relationships, such as parentage and sibling relationships, can be extremely important in biological research, especially in wild species, as they are often key to understanding evolutionary, ecological, and behavioral processes. Because it is often not possible to determine familial relationships from field observations alone, the reconstruction of sibling relationships oft...
