Linkage- and ROH-based genomic relationship matrices for IBD based management of genetic diversity

The goal of managing genetic diversity is to maintain both the genomic uniqueness and adaptability of a population. This entails both maintaining heterozygosity and avoiding deleterious alleles from drifting to higher frequencies. Thus, genomic management strategies should not systematically change frequencies at neutral loci, as has been observed in current genomic management. We simulated 50 replicates of a population managed with optimal contribution selection (OCS), where inbreeding was cont
