Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.8K
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...

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...

Sanger Sequencing

800.6K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Genomics

35.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.4K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Next-generation Sequencing

87.9K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Summary

Transitioning from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to whole-genome association studies (WGAS) using sequencing data presents challenges. Power loss and interpretation issues require careful consideration for effective genetic risk factor discovery.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Statistical genomics

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) successfully identify genetic risk factors for complex traits.
  • Sequencing technologies generate comprehensive genomic data, promising deeper insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the analytical and interpretational challenges in transitioning from GWAS to whole-exome or whole-genome association studies (WGAS).
  • To highlight power limitations and propose study designs to overcome them.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of GWAS and WGAS methodologies.
  • Evaluation of statistical power considering allele frequency spectrum differences.
  • Discussion of interpretation issues, including winner's curse and SNP ascertainment bias.

Main Results:

  • Sequencing-based WGAS faces power loss difficult to offset with realistic effect sizes.
  • Rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present complex prediction challenges due to ascertainment bias and low information content.
  • Gene-based tests and multiple testing adjustments require careful tuning for genes with diverse SNP sets.

Conclusions:

  • The shift to sequencing-based association studies requires novel analytical strategies.
  • Addressing power deficits and interpretation complexities is crucial for advancing genetic discovery.
