Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.7K
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...

RNA-seq

12.5K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Complex diseases often involve high-dimensional genotypic data with sparse functional variants.
  • Existing association tests struggle with identifying marker sets or individual causal loci in deep sequencing data.
  • Population structure and cryptic relatedness confound association analyses in admixed populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel statistical tests for accurate localization of causal loci and identification of high-dimensional sparse associations.
  • To address challenges in deep sequencing data analysis, including admixed populations and confounding factors.
  • To improve statistical power for identifying genetic variants underlying complex traits.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed unified marker-wise (uFineMap) and high-dimensional set-based (uHDSet) tests.
  • Utilized scaled sparse linear mixed regressions with Lp norm regularization.
  • Jointly adjusted for cryptic relatedness, population structure, and other confounders.

Main Results:

  • The proposed tests demonstrated appropriate Type I error control and superior power compared to existing methods.
  • Application to Framingham Heart Study data identified 11 novel significant genes for osteoporosis, missed by famSKAT and GEMMA.
  • uHDSet identified key pathways related to bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis, not detected by famSKAT.

Conclusions:

  • The novel uFineMap and uHDSet tests offer accurate and powerful methods for genetic association studies with deep sequencing data.
  • These methods effectively handle complex data structures, including admixed populations and high-dimensional markers.
  • The toolkit is publicly available, facilitating broader application in genetic research.
