Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

14.1K
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,...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.2K
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...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

52.8K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

327
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Gene Flow02:39

Gene Flow

30.6K
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) necessitates advanced software for accurate genotype prediction.
  • Genotyping diploid organisms requires inferring two alleles, crucial for analyzing variations like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • Ancient DNA presents unique challenges due to shallow data and post-mortem damage, requiring specialized genotyping methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel probabilistic framework for robust genotype prediction from sequencing data.
  • To model technology-specific errors and sources of variation affecting genotyping accuracy.
  • To provide a posterior probability for inferred genotypes, indicating confidence in the results.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a probabilistic framework as a graphical model to represent the sampling-to-sequencing process.
  • Developed a genotyper (SNPest) capable of modeling various error sources.
  • Inferred genotypes with associated posterior probabilities for confidence assessment.

Main Results:

  • SNPest was successfully applied to large-scale projects, including the first ancient human genome.
  • The method effectively models technology-specific errors and sources of variation.
  • Inferred genotypes are assigned posterior probabilities, quantifying confidence.

Conclusions:

  • SNPest demonstrates comparable performance to existing genotypers on both real and simulated data.
  • The method shows advantages in specific scenarios, such as genotyping simulated ancient DNA.
  • Evaluated the impact of read depth, adapter removal, and mapping tools on genotyping performance.
