Parent-Child vs. Ancestry - Understanding Genetic Relationships

Explore the complexities of genetic relationships in this 11-minute video from Genomics Boot Camp. Delve into the differences between parent-child genetic connections and ancestry-based relationships. Understand how individual and population-wide genetic relationship coefficients are computed and why they cannot be directly compared. Learn about the vast differences in the proportions of the genome used for these calculations. Examine a misleading social media post, gain insights into parent-child genetic relationships, and discover how ancestry informative markers are used to determine relationships. Compare and contrast parent-child genetic connections with ancestry-based relationships to gain a comprehensive understanding of genetic relationships in both individual and population contexts.
