I recently movedlinear animal to inbred strain since I think the latter is the much more widely know and used term. Check out these numbers:

Google hits:

• 949 "linear animal"
• 163000 "inbred strain"

• 28 site:.edu "linear animal"
• 11500 site:.edu "inbred strain"

• 1 site:.ac.uk "linear animal"
• 150 site:.ac.uk "inbred strain"

Hope you agree. Best,Jasu12:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, normal siblings should have only 25% identical. Parents/son or daughter have about 50% identical.—Precedingunsigned comment added byBjr2008 (talk •contribs)21:31, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the relevance to the 98% identical inbred strain after 20 generations. Siblings can be anywhere from 0 to 100% identical to one another.Nadiatalent (talk)13:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Sorry to bring up such an old mistake, but statistically all full siblings should be on average 50% related and parents and offspring are 50% related, that being said, it is an average, it is possible for 100% shared and 0% sharedJaltenb (talk)18:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting people know I am adding in a few more headings for some other organisms that are relevant to inbred strainsJaltenb (talk)21:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
