Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.3K
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...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

62.3K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains.

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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

11.4K
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%...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Identifying genetic markers linked to disease susceptibility is crucial for understanding disease etiology.
  • Traditional methods often rely on single genetic markers, potentially missing complex associations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) utilizing haplotype information.
  • To evaluate the performance of the new haplotype-based TDT against existing methods via simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Haplotype frequencies were estimated using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm on trio data.
  • A score test was developed based on marginal differences in a two-way contingency table of haplotype frequencies.
  • Simulations employed a coalescent model with three biallelic markers.

Main Results:

  • The proposed haplotype-based TDT and Zhao et al.'s test maintained appropriate type I error rates.
  • Haplotype-based TDTs demonstrated superior power compared to single-locus TDTs.
  • The new test's power was comparable to Zhao et al.'s method.

Conclusions:

  • The developed haplotype-based TDT is a powerful tool for genetic linkage analysis.
  • The proposed method offers advantages over single-locus approaches in detecting disease-susceptibility genes.
  • Future work will extend the method to more complex family structures and data types.
