Quantifying the heritability of belief formation
Scientific Reports, 2022 Individual differences in behaviour, traits and mental-health are partially heritable. Traditionally, studies have focused on quantifying the heritability of high-order characteristics, such as happiness or education attainment.

Trait heritability in major transitions
BMC Biology, 2018 Background Increases in biological complexity and the origins of life’s hierarchical organization are described by the “major transitions” framework.

Heritability Estimated Using 50K SNPs Indicates Missing Heritability Problem in Holstein Breeding [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2015 Previous studies in Holstein have shown 35% to 51.8% heritability in milk production traits, such as milk yield, fat, and protein, using pedigree data.

Heritability of plant height and head diameter in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) [PDF]
Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2013 Purpose of this study was to estimate heritability, in broad and narrow sense, for sunflower plant height and head diameter in order to evaluate success of selection of these traits. Fifteen sunflower populations were evaluated.

Heritability of Attractiveness to Mosquitoes [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2015 Female mosquitoes display preferences for certain individuals over others, which is determined by differences in volatile chemicals produced by the human body and detected by mosquitoes. Body odour can be controlled genetically but the existence of a genetic basis for differential attraction to insects has never been formally demonstrated.

Heritable and non-heritable uncommon causes of stroke
Journal of Neurology, 2020 Despite intensive investigations, about 30% of stroke cases remains of undetermined origin. After exclusion of common causes of stroke, there is a number of rare heritable and non-heritable conditions, which often remain misdiagnosed, that should be additionally considered in the diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Weakening the nuclear envelope: Lamin B receptor in melanoma metastasis
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.LBR‐driven nuclear fragility supports melanoma invasion. A: Melanocyte presents low LBR (Lamin B Receptor) levels, maintaining nuclear integrity and lamina‐chromatin tethering. B: During malignant progression, upregulation of LBR clusters at the INM (Inner Nuclear Membrane) during confined migration causes local lamina weakening and cholesterol ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019 Heritability of LPA allele, apo(a) isoform sizes, and isoform-associated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels was studied in 82 Caucasian and African-American families with two parents and two children (age: 6–74 years).

Heritability curves: A local measure of heritability in family models
Statistics in Medicine, 2020 Classical heritability models for family data split the phenotype variance into genetic and environmental components. For instance, the ACE model in twin studies assumes the phenotype variance decomposes as a2 + c2 + e2, representing (additive) genetic effects, common (shared) environment, and residual environment, respectively.
