Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.8K
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

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...

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Gene Duplication and Divergence

8.3K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Analyzing high-density genomic data often involves grouping markers into windows.
  • Existing windowing methods can lead to over- or under-smoothing and arbitrary boundary choices.
  • A new statistically guided approach is needed to define adaptive windows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for defining genomic analysis windows based on statistically guided breakpoints.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of identifying selection signatures in genomic data.
  • To provide a flexible windowing approach not reliant on predefined sizes or linkage disequilibrium.

Main Methods:

  • Fitting a cubic smoothing spline to genomic data.
  • Identifying inflection points of the spline to define window boundaries.
  • Applying the method to pooled sequencing FST data for selection signature detection.

Main Results:

  • Simulations showed a twofold increase in the true to false positive ratio for identifying selection signatures.
  • The novel method provided clearer separation of outlying windows compared to standard sliding window approaches.
  • The technique demonstrated effectiveness in pooled sequencing FST data analysis.

Conclusions:

  • A novel technique for defining window boundaries in genomic data analysis has been developed.
  • The method offers a high discovery rate and minimizes false positives in selection studies using FST data.
  • The GenWin R package implements this method for public use.
