Great to see @annikafreudiger.bsky.social paper published! š
We analyzed how genetic markers are used to estimate relatedness in wild animals - a big field with 2861 relevant publications. šš§¬
Even in 2026 mainly STRs are used - and we argue for low coverage WGS data and a simple aDNA estimator.

@annikafreudiger.bsky.social et al. assess genetic relatedness on rhesus macaques and find that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing offers an accurate, cost-effective alternative to widely used methods.
