Parent-offspring regression to estimate the heritability of an HIV-1 trait in a realistic setup

Abstract Background Parent-offspring (PO) regression is a central tool to determine the heritability of phenotypic traits; i.e., the relative extent to which those traits are controlled by genetic factors. The applicability of PO regression to viral traits is unclear because the direction of viral t...
