Effect of inbreeding on performance and genetic parameters of growth and survival traits in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas at larval stage

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2021
The occurrence of inbreeding over generations cannot be avoided in breeding practice because of limited effective population sizes, and inbreeding is expected to decrease the heritability within populations.

Spatially Dense 3D Facial Heritability and Modules of Co-heritability in a Father-Offspring Design

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Introduction: The human face is a complex trait displaying a strong genetic component as illustrated by various studies on facial heritability. Most of these start from sparse descriptions of facial shape using a limited set of landmarks.

Controlling the Overfitting of Heritability in Genomic Selection through Cross Validation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Accurate Genomic Prediction Of Human Height [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).

Estimating the heritability of psychological measures in the Human Connectome Project dataset.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a large structural and functional MRI dataset with a rich array of behavioral and genotypic measures, as well as a biologically verified family structure. This makes it a valuable resource for investigating questions

Multiple testing correction in linear mixed models. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BackgroundMultiple hypothesis testing is a major issue in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which often analyze millions of markers. The permutation test is considered to be the gold standard in multiple testing correction as it accurately takes ...

Common genetic effects on risk-taking preferences and choices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Although prior research has shown that risk-taking preferences and choices are correlated across many domains, there is a dearth of research investigating whether these correlations are primarily the result of genetic or environmental factors. We examine

Phenome-wide heritability analysis of the UK Biobank.

open access: yesPLoS 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.
