Pedigree-tracking improved population monitoring of recessive disease-causing alleles in pedigreed canine populations

Rosalind Craddock, Mateja Janeš, Cathryn S. Mellersh, Joanna Jadwiga Ilska, Pamela Wiener, Stephanie Smith, Gregor Gorjanc

The paper uses probabilistic inference in pedigreed canine populations to estimate disease-causing allele frequencies more comprehensively than genetic tests alone, showing improved monitoring of recessive diseases.
