Figure 3. Heritability and variance explained.

Figure 3

We used the ACE model to partition the variance of each metabolite into narrow-sense heritability (orange), and common (purple) and unique environmental components. The proportion of heritability explained by all SNPs associated with a given metabolite at the genome-wide level is shown in red. The corresponding numeric values for heritability estimates are given in Supplementary Table 7.
