Description

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are defined as continuos and uninterrupted chromosome regions in which all loci are homozygous in an individual, even if in the population these loci are not fixed for any allele. ROH are single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-derived metrics of autozygosity and provide a DNA based measure of the inbreeding level, as the two homozygous long DNA streches are considered identical by descent (IBD).
