Narrow-sense heritability estimation of complex traits using identity-by-descent information

…, GR Abecasis, S Das, DW Bjelland, TR de Candia… - Heredity, 2018 - nature.com
Heritability is a fundamental parameter in genetics. Traditional estimates based on family or
twin studies can be biased due to shared environmental or non-additive genetic variance. …
