Abstract excerpt
Linear mixed models (LMM) are widely used to estimate narrow sense heritability explained by tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, those estimates are valid only if large sample sizes are used. We propose a Bayesian covariance component model (BCCM) that takes into account the genetic correlation among phenotypes and genetic correlation among individuals. The use of the BCCM allows us to...
