What does heritability of Alzheimer's disease represent?
PLoS ONE, 2023 IntroductionBoth late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) and ageing have a strong genetic component. In each case, many associated variants have been discovered, but how much missing heritability remains to be discovered is debated.

Optimal population size to detect quantitative trait loci in Korean native chicken: a simulation study [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2022 Objective A genomic region associated with a particular phenotype is called quantitative trait loci (QTL). To detect the optimal F2 population size associated with QTLs in native chicken, we performed a simulation study on F2 population derived from ...

Using extended genealogy to estimate components of heritability for 23 quantitative and dichotomous traits. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Important knowledge about the determinants of complex human phenotypes can be obtained from the estimation of heritability, the fraction of phenotypic variation in a population that is determined by genetic factors.
