Modern Molecular Taxonomy

781
Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.0K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing

99.6K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.1K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

1.2K
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Statistical genomics

Background:

  • Disease risk is influenced by both common and rare genetic variants.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers comprehensive genetic variation data but presents analytical challenges like high error rates and missing values.
  • Existing analytical methods are often limited to population-based studies, not fully leveraging family data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general framework for sequence-based association studies using diverse family and individual data.
  • To create a universal procedure for transforming population-based association test statistics for family-based analyses.
  • To introduce novel family-based methods, including smoothed functional principal component analysis (SFPCA), for genetic association studies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a general framework for sequence-based association studies accommodating various data types and population structures.
  • Proposed a universal procedure to adapt population-based association tests for family-based designs.
  • Introduced family-based functional principal component analysis (FPCA) with and without smoothing, generalized T(2), and combined multivariate and collapsing (CMC) methods.

Main Results:

  • Intensive simulations demonstrated that family-based smoothed FPCA (SFPCA) maintains correct type I error rates.
  • SFPCA exhibited significantly higher power than other methods in detecting associations for common variants, rare variants, and both.
  • SFPCA effectively identified associations with variants showing opposite directions of effect.
  • Application to real datasets with pedigree structures showed SFPCA yielding smaller p-values compared to other statistics.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework and methods, particularly SFPCA, offer a powerful approach for sequence-based association studies.
  • SFPCA demonstrates superior performance in detecting genetic associations across various variant types and effect directions within family structures.
  • The developed methods address key analytical challenges posed by NGS data in genetic association studies.
