Figures & data
The DNA helix visualizes the additive genetic (A) and non-additive genetic (D) effects. The correlation between MZ twins is assumed to be 1 for the A as well as the D component. Contrastingly, the correlation between DZ twins is assumed to be 0.5 for the A component and 0.25 for the D component. Next, the plant icon visualizes the unique, non-shared environment (i.e. the E component). Lastly, that 100% of the shared environment (C) is similar in MZ as well as DZ twin pairs is resembled by the house in this figure. Remember, only an ADE or ACE model gets fit, depending on the twin correlations.
While the shade of greenness represents stronger positive correlations, the shade of pinkness represents stronger negative correlations.

Here, for all primals, the full ACE/ADE models are presented. Broad sense heritabilities (H2) are depicted for each primal (summed A plus D component for all primals, apart from Safe primal where only A depicted as ACE model was estimated). Note, for nearly all primals (except Progressive and Regenerative) more parsimonious AE models fitted better (for details see Supplementary Table S4 and S5). Interestingly, negligible shared environmental effects were found for all primals.
