Subject: [DNA] Need help with siblingship indexes and frequencies ofautosomal alleles.
Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2006 09:40:05 -0400


Does anyone know where I might find examples where the full siblingship and
the half siblingship indexes were calculated?

I would suspect that these formulas incorporate factors for the rarity of
the marker values so any help finding the frequencies of the autosomal
markers would also be very appreciated.

In this case I am using 18 autosomal alleles (36 marker values) for each of
3 purported siblings.
I have the DNA profiles so I suppose I could provide them to a paternity
testing lab and just have them calculate the indexes but I would like to
make an attempt at the calculations myself.
