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 of the limbic networks [PDF]
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2015 Individual differences in cognitive ability and social behaviour are influenced by the variability in the structure and function of the limbic system. A strong heritability of the limbic cortex has been previously reported, but little is known about how genetic factors influence specific limbic networks. We used diffusion tensor imaging tractography to

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.

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

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.

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).

Lobular Difference in Heritability of Brain Atrophy among Elderly Japanese: A Twin Study
Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: Brain atrophy is related to cognitive decline. However, the heritability of brain atrophy has not been fully investigated in the Eastern Asian population.

Heritability of Malaria in Africa [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2005 While many individual genes have been identified that confer protection against malaria, the overall impact of host genetics on malarial risk remains unknown.We have used pedigree-based genetic variance component analysis to determine the relative contributions of genetic and other factors to the variability in incidence of malaria and other infectious

Heritability in friendship networks [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 AbstractFriendship networks account for a large part of an individual’s economic success or failure in life. Using data from the German TwinLife study, we explore, within a classical twin design, to which extent friendship networks are related to genes.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) explain only a small fraction of heritability for most complex human phenotypes. Genomic heritability estimates the variance explained by the SNPs on the whole genome using mixed models and accounts for the many ...
