Kinship Coefficient

0.00

The kinship coefficient (r) is a measure of the genetic relatedness between two individuals. It is calculated based on the probability that two alleles are identical by descent.

Where:
r = Probability that two alleles are identical by descent

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the genotype of Parent 1 in the first input field. The genotype should be a string of letters representing alleles, e.g., "AaBb".
  2. Enter the genotype of Parent 2 in the second input field. The genotype should be in the same format as Parent 1.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the kinship coefficient.
  4. The kinship coefficient will be displayed in the result area.

Understanding the Kinship Coefficient

The kinship coefficient (r) is a measure of the genetic relatedness between two individuals. It is calculated based on the probability that two alleles are identical by descent. A higher kinship coefficient indicates a closer genetic relationship between the two individuals.

Example

If Parent 1 has the genotype "AaBb" and Parent 2 has the genotype "AABb", the kinship coefficient would be calculated as follows:

  • Parent 1 Alleles: A, a, B, b
  • Parent 2 Alleles: A, A, B, b
  • Matching Alleles: A, B, b
  • Kinship Coefficient: 3 / 4 = 0.75
