Rare Variants in Transcript and Potential Regulatory Regions Explain a Small Percentage of the Missing Heritability of Complex Traits in Cattle. [PDF]
The proportion of genetic variation in complex traits explained by rare variants is a key question for genomic prediction, and for identifying the basis of "missing heritability"--the proportion of additive genetic variation not captured by common ...
