Performance of homozygosity by descent in two mice lines divergently selected for birth weight environmental variability

Abstract Inbreeding can have negative effects, such as increasing the expression of deleterious alleles or reducing fitness. A method based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) was developed to determine the probability of an individual genome in a homozygous-by-descent state (HBD). As a result of an exper...
