Heritability of telomere variation: it is all about the environment!

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 5 Mar 2018

Dugdale Hannah L, Richardson David S

Abstract excerpt

Individual differences in telomere length have been linked to survival and senescence. Understanding the heritability of telomere length can provide important insight into individual differences and facilitate our understanding of the evolution of telomeres. However, to gain accurate and meaningful estimates of telomere heritability it is vital that the impact of the environment, and how this may vary, is...
