Animal Breeding: How to Find Coefficient of Inbreeding

COI stands for Coefficient of Inbreeding. Essentially, it measures the common ancestors of dam and sire, and indicates the probability of how genetically similar they are. Why it is important? There are consequences to being genetically similar, some good, some bad. The fact that dogs within individual breeds are so genetically similar is what makes them that breed- and why , if you breed any Labrador to any other Labrador, the puppies will look recognisably like Labradors. #inbreeding #coefficientOfInbreeding #genetics #CoefficientOfRelationship #GeneticsFieldOfStudy #inbreedingCoefficient #pedigrees #geneticDiversity #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #inbreedingDefects #whatHappensWhenYouInbreed #inbreedingInHumans #whatHappensWithInbreeding #inbreed #inbreedingDogs #outbreeding #whatBreedingDoes #inbreedingDefinition #bloodRelations #PedigreeChart #pathCoefficientMethod #PedigreeAnalysis #pedigreeAnalysisGenetics
