Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, heritability and other genetic parameters are estimated from between-family variation. With the advent of dense genotyping, it is now possible to compute the proportion of the genome that is shared by pairs of sibs and thus undertake the estimation within families, thereby avoiding environmental covariances of family members. Formulae for the sampling variance of estimates have been...
