The use and abuse of genetic marker‐based estimates of relatedness and inbreeding

Genetic marker‐based estimators remain a popular tool for measuring relatedness (rxy) and inbreeding (F) coefficients at both the population and individual level. The performance of these estimators fluctuates with the number and variability of markers available, and the relatedness composition and...
