NGSrelate - estimation of kinship coefficients

In order to estimate kinship coefficient then population allele frequencies are needed. These can be estimated from data if you can multiple individuals. For some individuals, for example most human populations, there are publicly available data. If you can obtain population allele frequencies then we recommend that you use NGSrelate.

NGSrelate has its very own website http://www.popgen.dk/software/index.php/NgsRelate


IBS/genotype distribution

If you do not have population allele frequencies the you cannot estimate kinship coefficients. However, you can still make some claims about the relationship of your samples based on IBS patterns.
