Heritability estimation based on small sample size using SNP markersDoes a 10 fold marker density increase affect the precision of heritability estimation? ObjectiveAim of this study was to clarify if a new and more marker dense SNP array (600K) is able to obtain more precise estimates of genetic variance and heritability, based on small population sample size DataComponents of genetic variance were obtained with three different predictions models, all based on a Bayesian distribution method with different priors.
