This program calculates inbreeding coefficients, partial inbreeding coefficients with respect to each founder, and proportion of the genome contributed by each founder. The program is run as a Windows application, with a simple user interface to prompt for input and output file names. This download includes the source code (in C#; feel free to use and modify it for your own uses), sample input files, the executable, and a document with further description and instructions.
A paper that uses the partial inbreeding coefficients to analyze the distribution of genetic load among founders is:
