2 arrow vs. broad sese Heritability arrow sese: h = V A /V P Slope of midparet - offsprig regressio (sexual reproductio) Broad sese: H = V G /V P Slope of a paret - cloed offsprig regressio (asexual reproductio) Whe oe refers to heritability, the default is arrow-sese, h h is the measure of (easily) usable geetic variatio uder sexual reproductio

3 Why h istead of h? Blame Sewall Wright, who used h to deote the correlatio betwee pheotype ad breedig value. Hece, h is the total fractio of pheotypic variace due to breedig values r(a,p) = σ (A,P) = σ A = σ A = h σ A σ P σ A σ P σ P Heritabilities are fuctios of populatios Heritability values oly make sese i the cotet of the populatio for which it was measured Heritability measures the stadig geetic variatio of a populatio A zero heritability DOES OT imply that the trait is ot geetically determied Heritabilities are fuctios of the distributio of evirometal values (i.e., the uiverse of E values) Decreasig V P icreases h. Heritability values measured i oe eviromet (or distributio of eviromets) may ot be valid uder aother Measures of heritability for lab-reared idividuals may be very differet from heritability i ature 3

4 Heritability ad the Predictio of Breedig Values If P deotes a idividual s pheotype, the best liear predictor of their breedig value A is A = σ (P, A) σ P (P µ P ) + e = h (P µ P ) + e The residual variace is also a fuctio of h : σ e = (1 h )σ P The larger the heritability, the tighter the distributio of true breedig values aroud the value h (P - µ P ) predicted by a idividual s pheotype. Heritability ad Populatio Divergece Heritability is a completely ureliable predictor of log-term respose Measurig heritability values i two populatios that show a differece i their meas provides o iformatio o whether the uderlyig differece is geetic 4

5 Sample Heritabilities People Height 0.80 Serum IG 0.45 Pigs Back-fat 0.70 Weight gai 0.30 Litter size 0.05 Fruit Flies Abdomial Bristles 0.50 Body size 0.40 Ovary size 0.30 Egg productio 0.0 h Traits more closely associated with fitess ted to have lower heritabilities 5

6 Expected Value ad Variace Expected Value (Mea) otatio: E[X] = µ X Discrete radom variable, fiite case: k E[X] = x i p i p i = Pr[X = x i ], where (weighted average) If p 1 = p = = p k =1/ k the: E[X] = 1 k k x i (simple average) 6

7 Expected Value Discrete radom variable, coutable case: E[X] = x i p i ad E[g(X)] = g(x i )p i Cotiuous radom variable: E[X] = xf(x)dx ad E[g(X)] = g(x)f(x)dx where f(x) : probability desity fuctio Properties: Expected Value Costat c: E[c] = c E[cX] = ce[x] E[X + Y] = E[X]+ E[Y] E[X Y = y] = xpr(x = x Y = y) E[X] = E[E[X Y]] 7

8 Variace otatio: Var[X] = σ X Defiitio: expected value of the square deviatio from the mea, i.e. Var[X] = E[(X µ) ] Var[X] = E[(X E[X]) ] = E[X XE[X]+ (E[X]) ] = E[X ] E[X]E[X]+ (E[X]) = E[X ] (E[X]) = E[X ] µ Variace Discrete radom variable: Var[X] = (x i µ) p i = x i p i µ Cotiuous radom variable: Var[X] = (x µ) f(x)dx = x f(x)dx µ 8

9 Variace Properties: Costat c: Var[c] = 0 Var[c + X] = Var[X] Var[cX] = c Var[X] Var[X + Y] = Var[X]+ Var[Y]+ Cov[X, Y] Var[X Y] = Var[X]+ Var[Y] Cov[X, Y] Var[X] = E Y [Var[X Y]]+ Var Y [E[X Y]] Covariace otatio: Cov[X, Y] = σ X,Y Cov[X, Y] = E[(X µ X )(Y µ Y )] = E[XY] µ X µ Y Correlatio otatio: Corr[X, Y] = ρ X,Y ρ X,Y = Cov[X, Y] σ X σ Y 9

10 AOVA: Aalysis of Variace Partitioig of trait variace ito withi- ad amoggroup compoets Two key AOVA idetities Total variace = betwee-group variace + withigroup variace Var(T) = Var(B) + Var(W) Variace(betwee groups) = covariace (withi groups) Itraclass correlatio, t = Var(B)/Var(T) The more similar idividuals are withi a group (higher withi-group covariace), the larger their betweegroup differeces (variace i the group meas) Situatio 1 Situatio Var(B) =.5 Var(W) = 0. Var(T) =.7 Var(B) = 0 t =.5/.7 = 0.93 Var(W) =.7 t = 0 Var(T) =.7 10

Let z ij deote the jth member of group i. Here z ij = u + g i + e ij g i is the group effect e ij the residual error Covariace withi a group Cov(z ij,z ik ) = Cov(u + g i + e ij, u + g i + e ik ) = Cov(g i, g i ) as all other terms are ucorrelated Cov(g i, g i ) = Var(g) is the amog-group variace 11

12 Estimatio: Oe-way AOVA Simple (balaced) full-sib desig: full-sib families, each with offsprig: Oe-way AOVA model Trait value i sib j from family i Commo mea Deviatio of sib j from the family mea z ij = m + f i + w ij Effect for family i; deviatio of mea of i from the commo mea Covariace betwee members of the same group equals the variace amog (betwee) groups Cov(Full Sibs) = σ (z ij,z ik ) = σ [(µ + f i + w ij ),(µ + f i + w ik )] = σ ( f i, f i ) +σ ( f i,w ik ) +σ (w ij, f i ) +σ (w ij,w ik ) = σ f Hece, the variace amog family effects equals the covariace betwee full sibs σ f = σ A / +σ D / 4 +σ Ec 1

13 The withi-family variace σ w = σ P - σ f, σ w(fs) = σ P (σ A / +σ D / 4 +σ Ec ) = σ A +σ D +σ E (σ A / +σ D / 4 +σ Ec ) = (1 / )σ A + (3 / 4)σ D +σ E σ Ec Oe-way AOVA: families with sibs, T = Factor Degrees of freedom, df Sum of squares (SS) Mea squares (MS) E[MS] Amog family -1 SS f = (z i z) SS f /(-1) σ w + σ f Withi family T- SS SS w /(T-) σ w = (z ij z i ) w j=1 13

17 Assigig stadard errors ( = square root of Var) Fu fact: Uder ormality, the (large-sample) variace for a mea-square is give by σ (MS x ) (MS x ) df x + Var[Var(w(FS))] = Var(MS w ) (MS w) Var[Var( f )] = Var MS f MS w T + (MS f ) +1 + (MS w) T + Estimatig heritability t FS = Var( f ) Var(z) = 1 h + σ D / 4 +σ Ec σ z Hece, h t FS A approximate large-sample stadard error for h is give by SE(h ) (1 t FS )[1+ ( 1)t FS ] / [ ( 1)] 17
