Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.7K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

11.6K
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%...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

14.8K
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,...

Coefficient of Correlation01:12

Coefficient of Correlation

7.7K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test for Matched Pairs01:09

Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test for Matched Pairs

630
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test for matched pairs evaluates the null hypothesis by combining the ranks of differences with their signs. It essentially tests whether the median of the differences in a population of matched pairs is zero. Since the test incorporates more information than the sign test, it generally yields more trustable conclusions. This test also does not require the data to follow a normal distribution, but two conditions must be met for it to be applicable: (1) the data must...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

34.7K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Current gene set analyses primarily identify differentially expressed pathways.
  • Existing methods for differential coexpression often rely on aggregated pairwise correlations.
  • A need exists for methods that analyze the complete correlation structure within gene sets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Gene Sets Net Correlations Analysis (GSNCA), a novel multivariate approach for differential coexpression testing.
  • To account for the complete correlation structure among genes within pathways.
  • To identify differentially coexpressed pathways and important pathway regulators.

Main Methods:

  • GSNCA assigns weight factors to genes based on their cross-correlations (intergene correlations).
  • The weight vector computation is framed as an eigenvector problem.
  • A null hypothesis is tested for differences in gene weight vectors between two conditions.

Main Results:

  • GSNCA effectively captures changes in the cross-correlation structure, distinguishing it from methods based on averaged pairwise correlations.
  • The approach infers differences in coexpression networks without requiring explicit network inference steps.
  • Identified hub genes (highest weights) frequently correspond to major pathway regulators and genes significantly impacted by biological conditions.

Conclusions:

  • GSNCA offers a new method for analyzing differentially coexpressed pathways.
  • The approach provides insights into gene importance within pathways, potentially generating novel biological hypotheses.
  • GSNCA enhances the understanding of pathway-level coexpression changes.
