Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.4K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Existing methods for visualizing founder DNA copy descent in pedigrees do not optimally display haplotype sharing patterns.
  • Understanding haplotype sharing is crucial for genetic studies, particularly in identifying linkage signals and selecting study participants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient method for visualizing haplotype sharing patterns in pedigrees.
  • To introduce a novel metric and associated software package, SharedHap, for quantifying and visualizing haplotype sharing.
  • To demonstrate the utility of SharedHap in identifying informative subsets of subjects for sequencing studies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the SharedHap visualization package.
  • Computation and visualization of the novel SharedHap proportion metric.
  • Application of SharedHap to simulated and real pedigree datasets.

Main Results:

  • SharedHap effectively visualizes haplotype sharing patterns relevant to linkage signals in both simulated and real data.
  • The visualizations enabled the identification of optimal subject sets for sequencing studies.

Conclusions:

  • The SharedHap metric and package provide valuable insights into haplotype sharing among subjects in pedigree studies.
  • Visualization of the SharedHap proportion aids in selecting candidate subjects for subsequent sequencing research.
