Novel genes for QTc interval. How much heritability is explained, and how much is left to find? [PDF]

, 2010
The corrected QT (QTc) interval is a complex quantitative trait, believed to be influenced by several genetic and environmental factors. It is a strong prognostic indicator of cardiovascular mortality in patients with and without cardiac disease.

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.

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.

Measuring heritability: why bother? [PDF]

, 2022
Uchiyama et al. rightly consider how cultural variation may influence estimates of heritability by contributing to environmental sources of variation.

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.

Multi-site genetic analysis of diffusion images and voxelwise heritability analysis : a pilot project of the ENIGMA–DTI working group [PDF]

, 2013
The ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Consortium was set up to analyze brain measures and genotypes from multiple sites across the world to improve the power to detect genetic variants that influence the brain.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

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.
