Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.6K
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...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

4.7K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
  • Genomics and Molecular Biology
  • Data Visualization and Visual Analytics

Background:

  • Expression-driven, omics hypothesizing involves analyzing high-throughput experimental data to uncover functional relationships and generate disease mechanism hypotheses.
  • Scientists currently employ interactive data visualizations and extensive literature review in this analytical process.
  • The end-to-end reasoning and sense-making behaviors of scientists during this analysis are not well understood, hindering the development of truly supportive bioinformatics tools.

Discussion:

  • This research presents a preliminary sense-making model derived from an in-depth, six-month observational study of a single scientist performing expression-driven, omics hypothesizing.
  • The study characterizes the stages of the scientist's sense-making process and provides derived guidelines for developing effective visualization tools.
  • While acknowledging the limitations of a single case study, the findings offer a foundation for further research into analytical workflows in bioinformatics.

Key Insights:

  • A preliminary sense-making model for expression-driven, omics hypothesizing has been abstracted from observational data.
  • Guidelines for designing visualization tools that better support scientists' analytical workflows were developed.
  • Understanding the scientist's sense-making process is crucial for creating more effective bioinformatics tools.

Outlook:

  • Further research is needed to generalize the findings beyond the single case study and validate the proposed sense-making model.
  • The developed guidelines can inform the design of next-generation bioinformatics visualization tools tailored to scientists' analytical needs.
  • This work aims to stimulate increased interest and investigation into scientists' analytical workflows and their impact on bioinformatics tool development.
