Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep.

Controlling the Overfitting of Heritability in Genomic Selection through Cross Validation. [PDF]
, 2017 In genomic selection (GS), all the markers across the entire genome are used to conduct marker-assisted selection such that each quantitative trait locus of complex trait is in linkage disequilibrium with at least one marker.

A Bayesian generalized random regression model for estimating heritability using overdispersed count data [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Faecal egg counts are a common indicator of nematode infection and since it is a heritable trait, it provides a marker for selective breeding.

Nature, 1997 IQ heritability, the portion of a population's IQ variability attributable to the effects of genes, has been investigated for nearly a century, yet it remains controversial. Covariance between relatives may be due not only to genes, but also to shared environments, and most previous models have assumed different degrees of similarity induced by ...

The heritability of body composition [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2021 Abstract Background Physical growth during childhood and adolescence is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Heritability, the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by genetic factors, has been demonstrated for stature and weight status. The aim of this study was to explore the heritability of body
