Abstract

AbstractGenetic kinship of ancient individuals can provide insights into their culture and social hierarchy, and is relevant for downstream genetic analyses. However, estimating relatedness from ancient DNA is difficult due to low-coverage, ascertainment bias, or contamination from various sources. Here, we present KIN, a method to estimate the relatedness of a pair of individuals from the identical-by-descent segments they share. KIN accurately classifies up to 3rd-degree relatives using ≥ 0.05xsequence coverage and differentiates siblings from parent-child. It incorporates additional models to adjust for contamination and detect inbreeding, which improves classification accuracy.
