Heritability in Plant Breeding on a Genotype-Difference Basis
Genetics, 2019 In plant breeding, heritability is often calculated (i) as a measure of precision of trials and/or (ii) to compute the response to selection. It is usually estimated on an entry-mean basis, since the phenotype is usually an aggregated value, as genotypes

Chromatin Topology Reconfiguration Orchestrates Thermotolerant Male Fertility via GhAL5 in Cotton
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates cotton’s high‐temperature (HT) response using multi‑omics. Dynamic 3D genome changes drive expression bias affecting male fertility. The tolerant line shows controlled chromatin dynamics, while the sensitive line exhibits overactivation.

Estimation of heritability and genetic advance for various metric traits in seven F2 populations of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2016 Heritability estimates provide information about the traits that are transmitted from parents to their offsprings and it has a crucial role in selection criteria to improve grain yield.

Testing mechanisms of Bergmann’s rule: Phenotypic decline but no genetic change in body size in three posserine bird populations [PDF]
, 2011 Bergmann’s rule predicts a decrease in body size with increasing temperature and has much empirical support. Surprisingly, we know very little about whether “Bergmann size clines” are due to a genetic response or are a consequence of phenotypic ...

SumHer better estimates the SNP heritability of complex traits from summary statistics
Nature Genetics, 2018 We present SumHer, software for estimating confounding bias, SNP heritability, enrichments of heritability and genetic correlations using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies. The key difference between SumHer and the existing software

Decoding Human Placental Cellular and Molecular Responses to Obesity and Fetal Growth
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Women with obesity often deliver large‐for‐gestational‐age (LGA) infants. Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing of term placenta reveals that hypoxia and TNF‐α signaling in syncytiotrophoblasts are featured in maternal obesity, but inflammatory signatures in Hofbauer cells and response to lipid or carbohydrate metabolism in fibroblasts are specific to LGA.

Heritability estimates of body size in fetal life and early childhood.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe objective was to estimate the heritability for height and weight during fetal life and early childhood in two independent studies, one including parent and singleton offsprings and one of mono- and dizygotic twins.MethodsThis study was ...

On the heritability of geographic range sizes [PDF]
, 2003 Within taxonomic groups, most species are restricted in their geographic range sizes, with only a few being widespread. The possibility that species-level selection on range sizes contributes to the characteristic form of such speciesrange size ...
