Much of the SNP software for estimating pairwise relatedness does not seem to entail options for estimating regression-based pairwise relatedness in haplodiploid species where, e.g.,...

We are exploring multiple methods for estimating divergence times using mitochondrial sequences. There seems to be a common approach that converts % sequence divergence into calendar years (very...
