Pedigree Inbreeding Loop

Compute the path contribution to an offspring inbreeding coefficient for one common ancestor loop.

Description

Compute the path contribution to an offspring inbreeding coefficient for one common ancestor loop.

Pedigree Inbreeding Loop is a focused biology tool that compute the path contribution to an offspring inbreeding coefficient for one common ancestor loop. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1

When to use Pedigree Inbreeding Loop

Use Pedigree Inbreeding Loop when you need to compute the path contribution to an offspring inbreeding coefficient for one common ancestor loop. Enter Generations through the loop and Common ancestor inbreeding using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.

Generations through the loop
Number of generations from the sire to the common ancestor plus dam to the common ancestor.
Common ancestor inbreeding
A finite measured or assumed value from 0 through 1.

How Pedigree Inbreeding Loop calculates the result

The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute the path contribution to an offspring inbreeding coefficient for one common ancestor loop.

Inbreeding coefficient path contribution
The calculated inbreeding coefficient path contribution.

Limitations of Pedigree Inbreeding Loop

The calculation does not propagate measurement uncertainty, sampling error, or biological and chemical variability. Common ancestor inbreeding must remain between 0 and 1.

Alternative or Complementary measurements

Retain the original Generations through the loop and Common ancestor inbreeding values and their units alongside the result. Pedigree F Accumulated is useful when you instead need to accumulate an inbreeding coefficient as the base coefficient plus the remaining relationship budget times one path contribution. Inbreeding Coefficient provides another view by helping you compute the inbreeding coefficient f = (he - ho) / he, which may be negative when heterozygote excess occurs.
