Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

17.2K
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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

20.4K
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,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

19.4K
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%...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

119
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

    Area of Science:

    • Population Genetics
    • Human Evolution
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Human genomes exhibit minor genetic variations, yet these differences are crucial for understanding population diversity.
    • The fixation index (FST) is used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reflecting population differences, but it often overlooks complex SNP interactions.
    • Existing methods primarily focus on two-locus SNP interactions, failing to capture the combinatorial complexity of genetic variations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel method for analyzing human population differences by considering multi-locus SNP interactions.
    • To identify a subset of informative SNPs and efficiently search for their interactions.
    • To construct an evolutionary tree of human populations based on SNP interaction patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • A new coordinate system is proposed to differentiate population energy distributions.
    • Candidate SNPs are selected based on coordinate system axes, enabling efficient interaction analysis.
    • SNP-SNP interaction counts are used to quantify pairwise population differences.
    • A hierarchical clustering algorithm is employed to build an evolutionary tree.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully identifies informative SNPs and analyzes multi-locus interactions.
    • Hierarchical clustering based on SNP interactions generated evolutionary trees.
    • Trees derived from four separate chromosomes showed high consistency.
    • The constructed evolutionary trees align with previous anthropological and genetic studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel method effectively mines evolutionary information from SNP interaction data.
    • It offers a new perspective for analyzing human population genetic diversity.
    • The approach can capture complex genetic interactions beyond pairwise comparisons.
