The main goal of this functionality is to be able to calculate the coefficient of parentage for a given set of germplasm. This coefficient in turn determines a measure of relatedness between germplasm by traversing their corresponding pedigree trees and recursively identifying the common ancestors.
Use Cases
To ensure there is enough genetic diversity of breeding lines being advanced in my breeding program
Knowing the level of endogamy of the program
Planning crosses (wide or narrow divergence)
A constant concern is narrow genetic base of breeding programs. This tool allows knowing the degree of genotypes kinship to make better decisions for our germplasm management.
