Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.3K
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...

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

882
Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next...

Genetic Drift

Natural selection—probably the most well-known evolutionary mechanism—increases the prevalence of traits that enhance survival and reproduction. However, evolution does not merely propagate favorable traits, nor does it always benefit populations.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Admixture between distinct populations shapes the genomes of many species.
  • Admixed genome structure reveals historical population contact, including admixture timing and extent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an improved wavelet-based technique for characterizing ancestry block structure in admixed genomes.
  • To enhance the statistical power for analyzing local ancestry and admixture events.

Main Methods:

  • Application of Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to identify population structure.
  • Wavelet decomposition for detailed local ancestry characterization along chromosomes.
  • Inference of admixture time using Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC).

Main Results:

  • The revised wavelet approach demonstrates improved statistical power over existing methods.
  • Accurate estimation of admixture times and their uncertainty.
  • Successful application to human genomic data from Indonesia and simulated data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed wavelet method (R package adwave) offers a powerful tool for analyzing admixture.
  • This technique can address a wide array of questions related to population admixture and genomic history.
