3 wrz 2019 · Here, we leverage a large observational study of ~450,000 participants of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKB) to quantify extreme inbreeding (EI) and its consequences.
6 wrz 2019 · Genomic analysis has provided a new way of investigating a tricky topic: the prevalence of extreme inbreeding in humans. Cultural and religious taboos around inbreeding make its frequency ...
22 gru 2022 · It’s made studying the prevalence of inbreeding in humans, and dealing with the consequences, difficult. Now, researchers using data from the UK Biobank, a genetic database of around half a million people from the country, have scanned for evidence of inbreeding in the participants.
There is evidence that suggests inbreeding certain animals can have more of a negative impact than a positive one. The two largest populations of koalas in Australia could cease to exist by just one disease, due to them being so so heavily inbred, scientists have warned. A study, headed by Dr David Balding, examined inbreeding in pedigree dogs ...
4 wrz 2019 · Australian researchers from the University of Queensland led by Loïc Yengo found 125 cases of extreme inbreeding when they looked at the data of 456,414 people ages 40-69 who voluntarily submitted their genetic information between 2006 and 2010.

inbreeding. Our study provides DNA-based quantification of the prevalence of EI in a Eur-opean ancestry sample from the UK and measures its effects on health and fitness traits.
