Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.9K
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

7.1K
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...

Econometric Views (EViews)

625
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Statistical Genetics

Background:

  • Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are powerful for identifying trait-associated genetic variants.
  • Integrating GWAS with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data, via methods like PrediXcan and TWAS, enhances statistical power and biological interpretation.
  • Existing methods have limitations in fully leveraging eQTL data with GWAS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more powerful gene-based association test.
  • To integrate single or multiple eQTL datasets with GWAS data (individual-level or summary statistics).
  • To improve the identification of genes associated with complex traits.

Main Methods:

  • A novel reformulation of PrediXcan and TWAS was developed.
  • The new method integrates diverse eQTL datasets with various GWAS data types.
  • Statistical power and gene discovery capabilities were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The proposed gene-based association test demonstrated significantly improved performance.
  • Application to lipid GWAS datasets identified more known and novel trait-associated genes.
  • The method effectively integrates multiple eQTL datasets and GWAS summary statistics.

Conclusions:

  • The novel gene-based association test offers enhanced power for genetic discovery.
  • This approach facilitates more comprehensive biological interpretation of GWAS findings.
  • Freely available R package supports broader adoption and application in genetic research.
