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.

Statistical methods for SNP heritability estimation and partition: A review
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 In GWAS studies, SNP heritability measures the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by all measured SNPs. Accurate estimation of SNP heritability can help us better understand the degree to which measured genetic variants influence phenotypes ...

Accurate Genomic Prediction Of Human Height [PDF]
, 2017 We construct genomic predictors for heritable and extremely complex human quantitative traits (height, heel bone density, and educational attainment) using modern methods in high dimensional statistics (i.e., machine learning).

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.

Genetic variability and correlation analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) inbred lines based on agro-morphological traits [PDF]
, 2016 In order to evaluate genetic variability of agro-morphological traits and also determine the correlation between grain yield with its components in rice lines, 17 recombinants inbred lines, their parents and a check variety were grown in research station

Phenome-wide heritability analysis of the UK Biobank.
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.
