Estimation of Heritability
The chapter starts with the definition of the narrow sense heritability and shows that the narrow sense heritability is the regression coefficient of...

The effect of repeated measurements and within-individual variance on the estimation of heritability: a simulation study
AbstractThe estimation of heritability is a common practice in the field of ecology and evolution. Heritability of the traits is often estimated...
-
Comparison of various models for the estimation of heritability and breeding values
The exploration of additive genetic variance for the selection of animals is the central paradigm in quantitative genetics and it is important to use...
-
Impact of linkage disequilibrium heterogeneity along the genome on genomic prediction and heritability estimation
BackgroundCompared to medium-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, high-density SNP data contain abundant genetic variants and provide...

Evaluation of heritability partitioning approaches in livestock populations
BackgroundHeritability partitioning approaches estimate the contribution of different functional classes, such as coding or regulatory variants, to...

Heritability of functional gradients in the human subcortico-cortical connectivity
The human subcortex plays a pivotal role in cognition and is widely implicated in the pathophysiology of many psychiatric disorders. However, the...

Evaluating the estimation of genetic correlation and heritability using summary statistics
While novel statistical methods quantifying the shared heritability of traits and diseases between ancestral distinct populations have been recently...

Next-Gen GWAS: full 2D epistatic interaction maps retrieve part of missing heritability and improve phenotypic prediction
The problem of missing heritability requires the consideration of genetic interactions among different loci, called epistasis. Current GWAS...

Heritability and genetic variance estimation of Osteosarcoma (OSA) in Irish Wolfhound, using deep pedigree information
BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OSA) is a devastating disease that is common in the Irish Wolfhound breed. The aim of this study was to use a pedigree-based...

Heritability and Principal Component Analysis of Phytochemical Traits in Guava Under Indian Subtropics
Guava is rich in antioxidant compounds as it contains a high level of ascorbic acid, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. Genotypic variance,...

Gene-environment interaction explains a part of missing heritability in human body mass index
Gene-environment (G×E) interaction could partially explain missing heritability in traits; however, the magnitudes of G×E interaction effects remain...

Heritability of chronic thermal tolerance and genetic correlations with growth traits in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
The increasing seawater temperature during summer months frequently results in severe mortalities in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas around the...

Rare genetic variants explain missing heritability in smoking
Common genetic variants explain less variation in complex phenotypes than inferred from family-based studies, and there is a debate on the source of...

Estimating the heritability of nitrogen and carbon isotopes in the tail hair of beef cattle
BackgroundThe natural abundance of nitrogen (δ 15 N) and carbon (δ 13 C) isotopes in animal tissues are used to estimate an animal’s efficiency in...

Heritability of aggressiveness components in Cercospora coffeicola isolates
Brown eye spot (BES) disease caused by the fungus Cercospora coffeicola is present in all coffee-producing regions of the world. Heritability has...

A meta-analysis on the effects of marker coverage, status number, and size of training set on predictive accuracy and heritability estimates from genomic selection in tree breeding
Genomic selection (GS) is increasingly used in tree breeding because of the possibility to hasten breeding cycles, increase selection intensity or...

Heritability: What's the point? What is it not for? A human genetics perspective
In this paper, we explain the concept of heritability and describe the different methods and the genotype–phenotype correspondences used to estimate...
