Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

In the ongoing effort to determine just how much of who we are is preordained by our genetic code, heritability, a statistical measurement of how much variation in a trait can be attributed to genetic ...

What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, ...
