PedKin : compute kinship coefficientsB. Kirkpatrick, S. Ge, and L. Wang. Efficient computation of the kinship coefficients. Bioinformatics, bty725. 2018.
Given a pedigree of individuals, founder kinship coefficients, and individuals of interest, compute the kinship and inbreeding coefficients for all the individuals of interest in the pedigree. These coefficients indicate the genetic similarity between pairs of individuals in the genealogy. This is the fastest known algorithm for computing the kinship coefficients. We either compute exact coefficients or estimate the coefficients. This is the only algorithm that considers the inbreeding coefficients of the founders.
