Hardy-Weinberg Principle01:49

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

77.1K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

376
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.2K
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...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

1.3K
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Genetic Drift03:33

Genetic Drift

44.7K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Genetic assignment methods are crucial for understanding population structure and gene flow.
  • Existing software often lacks effective visualization tools, hindering biological interpretation.
  • Handling individuals with missing genetic data remains a challenge in assignment analyses.

  • Characterized genetic profile distributions for candidate source populations.
  • Calculated graph positions for individuals with missing data using estimated quantiles.
  • Employed the saddlepoint method to approximate and invert the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for quantile calculations.
  • Utilized leave-one-out procedures for visualizing assignment results.

Main Results:

  • The proposed visualization method effectively positions individuals with missing genetic data within population distributions.
  • Saddlepoint approximation enabled accurate quantile function calculation for enhanced visualization.
  • Applied to simulated and real microsatellite data (Rattus rattus), the method revealed population structure features.
  • Demonstrated superior interpretability compared to existing bar chart visualizations.

Conclusions:

  • The novel visualization method significantly advances genetic assignment analysis, particularly for datasets with missing data.
  • It offers a more biologically meaningful interpretation of population structure and assignment confidence.
  • The method provides a powerful tool for assessing the discriminative power of genetic markers.
