Joint Estimation of Pedigrees and Effective Population Size Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo

This study presents a Bayesian method using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to jointly estimate pedigrees and effective population size from genetic markers, showing high accuracy on simulated data and a real house sparrow dataset.

Composite Likelihood Method for Inferring Local Pedigrees

This paper introduces a composite likelihood method for inferring pedigrees from genome-wide SNP data, showing improved accuracy in identifying distant relatives compared to existing methods.
