Previous cousin statistics charts haven’t shown the differences in shared DNA between paternal and maternal relatives. The average recombination rate in mothers is about 42. Conversely, genomes in fathers only recombine about 27 times, on average. This leads to...

A comparison of three models, including updated amount of shared DNA between various relatives and ancestors Note: this article is relatively old. I’ve updated my model to be far more accurate, in light of recently published standard deviations, and far more...

Or, more interestingly, how much it will vary and how you can easily increase the number and quality of your DNA matches The model used to produce these numbers has been updated a few times. More accurate numbers for DNA coverage can be found here. The DNA testing...

Genetic Modeling Background A couple of years ago I made my first model of genetic inheritance. It was probably about as simple as such a model could be. Rather than having 22 separate autosomal chromosomes, it was more like having one long string of connected...
