Abstract: Models that include genomic relationships can predict genetic effects more accurately than those that use expected relationships from pedigrees.Relationship matrices can estimate the expected fraction of genes identical by descent, the actual fraction of DNA shared, or the fraction of alleles shared for loci that affect a particular trait.Each may be a valid answer to the question "Are two individuals related?"Several options are available for including genomic relationships in genetic evaluations.
