Heritability of movie-evoked brain activity and connectivity [PDF]
eLifeThe neural bases of sensory processing are conserved across people but no two individuals experience the same stimulus in exactly the same way. Recent work has established that the idiosyncratic nature of subjective experience is underpinned by ...

Heritability of Malaria in Africa [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2005 While many individual genes have been identified that confer protection against malaria, the overall impact of host genetics on malarial risk remains unknown.We have used pedigree-based genetic variance component analysis to determine the relative contributions of genetic and other factors to the variability in incidence of malaria and other infectious

Genetics of callous-unemotional behavior in children. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Callous-unemotional behavior (CU) is currently under consideration as a subtyping index for conduct disorder diagnosis. Twin studies routinely estimate the heritability of CU as greater than 50%. It is now possible to estimate genetic influence using DNA

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.

Overall heritability in popcorn estimated by meta-analysis
Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2021 The objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis and test its efficiency in summarizing the heterogeneous data of heritability estimates for the traits of grain yield (GY) and popping expansion (PE), and to provide reliable estimates of ...

From the trajectory of heritability to the heritability of trajectories
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2021 Abstract Although compelling and insightful, the proposal by Uchiyama et al. largely neglects within-person change over time, arguably the central topic of interest within their framework. Longitudinal behavioural genetics modelling suggests that the heritability of trajectories is low, in contrast to high and increasing cross-sectional heritability

Heritability estimation of osteoarthritis in the pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) with a look toward future data collection [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 We examine heritability estimation of an ordinal trait for osteoarthritis, using a population of pig-tailed macaques from the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC).

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 ...
