Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...
Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials01:12

Statistical Software for Data Analysis and Clinical Trials

Statistical software is pivotal in data analysis and clinical trials by providing tools to analyze data, draw conclusions, and make predictions. These software packages range from simple data management applications to complex analytical platforms, supporting various statistical tests, models, and simulation techniques. Their significance lies in their ability to handle vast amounts of data with precision and efficiency, enabling researchers to validate hypotheses, identify trends, and make...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are crucial for linking genetic variations (genotype) to observable traits (phenotype).
  • Visualizing large-scale sequence data and associated metadata presents significant challenges in identifying meaningful correlations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel visualization methodology for assessing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • To facilitate the discovery of genotype-phenotype associations within diverse sequence-based datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the interactive Hierarchical Aggregation Table (iHAT) tool.
  • Integration of hierarchical aggregation, sequence browsing, and cluster heatmap techniques.
  • Implementation of customizable color maps, aggregation strategies, and filtering options for data exploration.

Main Results:

  • iHAT enables effective visualization of multiple sequence alignments, metadata, and hierarchical clusterings.
  • The tool supports human pattern recognition for identifying correlations and anticorrelations in data.
  • Demonstrated utility with artificial and real-world datasets, including DNA, protein association studies, and expression Quantitative Trait Locus (eQTL) data.

Conclusions:

  • iHAT provides an effective interactive visualization approach for exploring complex genomic datasets.
  • The tool aids researchers in identifying potential genotype-phenotype associations through visual pattern recognition.
  • iHAT is applicable to various association studies, enhancing the interpretation of sequence-based data.
