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

Phenome-wide heritability analysis of the UK Biobank. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2017
Heritability estimation provides important information about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to phenotypic variation, and provides an upper bound for the utility of genetic risk prediction models.

The heritability of attractiveness [PDF]

Current Biology, 2007
SummarySexual selection is responsible for the evolution of numerous conspicuous and extravagant displays observed in nature — from cricket choruses to peacock's tails. A key assumption of many models of sexual selection is that attractive males father attractive sons1.

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.

Inferring the heritability of bacterial traits in the era of machine learning [PDF]

Bioinformatics Advances 2023, 2022
Quantification of heritability is a fundamental desideratum in genetics, which allows an assessment of the contribution of additive genetic variation to the variability of a trait of interest. The traditional computational approaches for assessing the heritability of a trait have been developed in the field of quantitative genetics.

Is Cladogenesis Heritable? [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 2002
The heritability of speciation rates and extinction risks is a crucial parameter in models of macroevolution, but little direct evidence has been available to assess the occurrence, strength, or generality of this heritability. We tested for heritability using correlations between ancestral and descendent branch lengths in phylogenetic trees, an ...

Partitioning the heritability of Tourette syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder reveals differences in genetic architecture. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
The direct estimation of heritability from genome-wide common variant data as implemented in the program Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) has provided a means to quantify heritability attributable to all interrogated variants. We have quantified

Homogenizing Estimates of Heritability Among SOLAR-Eclipse, OpenMx, APACE, and FPHI Software Packages in Neuroimaging Data

Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2019
Imaging genetic analyses use heritability calculations to measure the fraction of phenotypic variance attributable to additive genetic factors. We tested the agreement between heritability estimates provided by four methods that are used for heritability
