Deskripsi

Heritability of complex traits can be finely dissected using yeast crosses. Here, Kaspar Märtens and colleagues show that quantitative traits in yeast can be predicted from genotype and phenotype data with an average coefficient of determination of 0.91, providing the most accurate predictions of complex traits to date.
