Consanguinity articles from across Nature Portfolio
Consanguinity is the property of having a recent common ancestor with another individual. The genetic distance between two individuals can be expressed in meioses (the number of times the shared genome is halved by the generation of ova or sperm) or by the coefficient of relationship (r).
