Quantitative genetics of skeletal nonmetric traits in the rhesus macaques on Cayo Santiago. I. Single trait heritabilities

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1981
AbstractThe use of skeletal nonmetric traits in studies of biological relationships often involves the assumption that variation in these traits is genetic. Studies of nonmetric traits in human groups and in inbred strains of mice and rabbits have indicated a genetic component to nonmetric trait variation.

Locus-Specific Heritability Estimation via the Bootstrap in Linkage Scans for Quantitative Trait Loci

Human Heredity, 2006
<i>Background/Aims:</i> In genome-wide linkage analysis ofquantitative trait loci (QTL), locus-specific heritability estimates are biased when the original data are used to both localize linkage and estimate effects, due to maximization of the LOD score over the genome. Positive bias is increased by adoption of stringent significance levels

Heritability of quantitative traits in segregating common bean families using a Bayesian approach

Euphytica, 2008
Genetic parameters for six quantitative traits in the early generation of segregating populations of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were evaluated. A Bayesian approach was used for estimating the variance components, breeding values and broad sense heritability of the quantitative traits under analysis.

Heritability of quantitative traits

1995
Abstract In the most traditional view, heritability is the proportion of total phenotypic variance attributable to additive genetic variance. The latter results from segregation of alleles with additive effects. Other contributors to total variance include dominance, epistatic and environmental effects and covariances and interactions ...

Heritability of quantitative orbital traits.

Human biology, 1990
We conducted a study of 63 couples and their 242 normal children from northeastern Brazil (no facial malformations or deformities) to evaluate the heritability of 4 quantitative traits of the orbital region adjusted by covariance for sex, age, (age)2, sex x age, and sex x (age)2.

Heritability and identification of quantitative traits loci in eye morphometry: evidence of imprinting

2003
Our aim is to assess the heritability of biometric ocular traits and to perform a genome wide scan to identify the associated QTLs. This study was conducted in Talana, an isolated village in eastern Sardinia whose demographic history exhibits ancient origin, low number of founders, high inbreeding and genealogical trees reconstructable from 1640 ...

Ocular Biometry: Heritability and Identification of Quantitative Traits Loci in a Sardinian Isolated Population

2003
Purpose The aim of the study is to assess the heritability of biometric ocular traits in a Sardinian isolated population and to perform a genome wide scan (GWS) to identify the genetic loci associated with these traits, taking advantage of the special characteristics of this population. Methods This study was conducted in Talana, an isolated village in
