The only cousin statistics that acknowledge the differences in paternal and maternal relatives due to recombination rates. I’ve written an article that shows the percentages of shared DNA that a person shares with various relatives and ancestors. These are the...

The only cousin statistics that acknowledge the differences in paternal and maternal relatives due to recombination rates. See the relationship probability calculator that’s based on this same model. I’ve written an article that shows the percentages of shared...

The amount of centiMorgans (cM) we share with a relative tells us how closely related we are to them. A cM is the probability, in percentage, that a crossover will occur between two genetic loci during a given meiosis event. The units of cM are right there in the...
