[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 380234, member: 4437"] I know of no other measurement to measure inbreeding than the Wright Coefficient, do you? If so, I would like to study those also. Good question. I believe the text mentions 12 generations but it is not real clear of the actual formulas used. A family tree, or pedigree, is alot like computer bytes because everything is based upon 2 as in two sets of genes combine to make one living individual AND it take two parents to make one descendent. If...0x00000000 is one hexidecimal byte in a computer or one measurment in a gene in an animal in the off state and 0x00000001 is one byte in a computer or one atom in a gene in an animal in the on state, then...I can combine them and represent them in a computer by..0x00000001. Like wise, a branch in a pedigree can be represented by 2 << 1, or 2 * 1, and then 2 << 2, etc. in each layer representing each generation...I believe some researchers like to go back to 1,024 which is one kilobyte in a computer, or 1000 bytes, or 2 << 8.
