Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heritability of a phenotypic or molecular trait measures the proportion of variance that is attributable to genotypic variance. It is an important concept in breeding and genetics. Few methods are available for calculating heritability for traits derived from high-throughput sequencing. RESULTS: We propose several statistical models and different methods to compute and test a heritability measure for...
