Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

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...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Statistical Genetics

Background:

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays frequently produce no-calls, especially in organisms lacking high-resolution genomic sequences like cattle.
Missing SNP genotypes can confound downstream analyses, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
Current methods for imputing missing genotypes are either accurate but slow, or fast but inaccurate.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an efficient and accurate method for imputing missing SNP genotypes and haplotype alleles.
To address the limitations of existing imputation techniques in terms of speed and accuracy.

Main Methods:

A nearest neighbor-based local imputation approach was developed.
The method considers SNP loci within a genetic distance vicinity and samples within a similarity vicinity for imputation.
Extensive simulation studies using real human, cattle, and mouse genotype datasets were employed for performance evaluation.

Main Results:

The nearest neighbor imputation method demonstrated high efficiency and accuracy in imputing missing genotypes and haplotype alleles.
It outperformed existing methods in most comparative evaluations, except for the time-intensive fastPHASE.
For haplotype allele imputation in mouse datasets, the method was both efficient and accurate.

Conclusions:

The developed nearest neighbor imputation method is a viable and efficient alternative for imputing missing SNP genotypes and haplotype alleles.
It offers a practical solution given the computational demands of methods like fastPHASE on medium to high-density datasets.
