Inbreeding is also used to reveal deleterious recessive alleles, which can then be eliminated through assortative breeding or through culling. In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the effects of heterosis. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination.
Consanguine marriage is marriage between individuals who are closely related. Though it may involve incest, it implies more than the sexual nature of incest.In a clinical sense, marriage between two family members who are second cousins or closer qualifies as consanguineous marriage.

Wright introduced the inbreeding coefficient F as the correlation between uniting gametes in 1922, and most of the subsequent theory of inbreeding has been developed from his work. The definition of the inbreeding coefficient now most widely used is mathematically equivalent to that of Wright. [7]
The Goler family lived together in two shacks in a remote wooded area on South Mountain, located south of the community of White Rock, outside the town of Wolfville.Their ancestors occupied the area since at least the mid-1800s and, according to a sociologist at Acadia University, showed incest in the family dating back to the 1860s.

The effect of inbreeding in the resulting sub-populations could be studied by measuring the runs of homozygosity in different individuals. [ 4 ] In clinical laboratory testing, the detection of ROH in itself does not indicate a particular genetic disorder but indicates an increased risk of autosomal recessive inherited diseases. [ 5 ]
The Westermarck effect has gained some empirical support. [2] Proponents point to evidence from the Israeli kibbutz system, from the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, and from closely related families.
