Assumption-free estimation of heritability from genome-wide identity-by-descent sharing between full siblings.
The study of continuously varying, quantitative traits is important in evolutionary biology, agriculture, and medicine. Variation in such traits is attributable to many, possibly interacting, genes whose expression may be sensitive to the environment, which makes their dissection into underlying cau...
