Explanations for 'missing heritability' — the shortfall in the proportion of heritable phenotypic variation for a trait that can be explained by identified loci — are hotly debated, particularly in ...
Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers demonstrated how narrow-sense heritability (h 2) leads to variability in the susceptibility to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ...
