The program "Nb_HetEx" estimates the effective number of breeders (Nb) that produced the sampled progeny based on genotype counts contained in that sample. When the number of breeders is very small, there is an excess of heterozygotes in their progeny: the smaller the number of breeders, the larger the heterozygote excess. The Nb_HetEx program also estimates Ne through the temporal method.
