Gene-Environment Interactions01:20

Gene-Environment Interactions

1.6K
Gene expression is a dynamic process that is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This interaction underlies the complex nature of biological development and the phenotypic differences observed among individuals, even among those with identical genetic makeups. Factors such as radiation, temperature, behavior, nutrition, and stress play pivotal roles in determining how genes are expressed. The concept of the reaction range is central to understanding this interaction. It posits...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

8.1K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Genetic Screens

5.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Epistasis Analysis01:09

Epistasis Analysis

6.2K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Kernel Machine (KM) models are vital for analyzing associations between genetic variants and complex traits.
  • Multikernel analyses extend KM capabilities to complex problems like gene-gene or gene-environment interactions.
  • Traditional KM estimation methods face computational challenges with large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a computationally efficient and statistically rigorous algorithm, fastKM, for multikernel analysis.
  • To address the scalability limitations of existing KM estimation techniques for large sample sizes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the fastKM algorithm utilizing a low-rank approximation for nuisance effect kernel matrices.
  • The algorithm is designed for multikernel analysis across various trait types (continuous, binary, survival).
  • fastKM is compatible with existing single-kernel analysis software.

Main Results:

  • Extensive simulations demonstrate fastKM's comparable performance to EM-based KM for quantitative traits, but with significantly faster execution.
  • The algorithm shows promise for analyzing complex genetic interactions and effects.
