Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.6K
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...

Epistasis Analysis

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...

Incomplete Dominance

Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Statistical Genomics

    Background:

    • Permutation testing is crucial for determining the significance of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in genetic mapping.
    • High computational demands, requiring millions of permutations, pose a significant challenge for traditional methods.

    • The PruneDIRECT algorithm, within the developed framework, is vastly superior for permutation testing.
    • A 2D QTL problem with 200,000 permutations was solved in 15 hours using 100 cloud processes.
    • The framework demonstrated near-linear scalability for 3D QTL searches.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed R-based framework provides a mature and accessible solution for computationally intensive bioinformatics applications.
    • Distributed parallel computing via Hadoop map-reduce significantly enhances the efficiency of QTL mapping.
    • PruneDIRECT offers a powerful and scalable approach for identifying complex genetic interactions.
