What are the Methods Used to Estimate Heritability?
Several methods are used to estimate heritability, including:
Twin Studies: Comparing the similarity of traits between monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins. Family Studies: Observing the traits in family members to see how they correlate with genetic similarities. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS): Analyzing genetic variants across the genome to find associations with specific traits.
