Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Next-generation Sequencing

99.3K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Prediction Intervals01:03

Prediction Intervals

3.5K
The interval estimate of any variable is known as the prediction interval. It helps decide if a point estimate is dependable.
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

1.5K
Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

775.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Summary

Whole-genome sequence data can improve genomic prediction accuracy, but computational challenges exist. A Bayesian variable selection model offers an efficient strategy to approximate whole-sequence data analysis, especially when imputation errors are considered.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Genetics
  • Genomic Prediction
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Whole-genome sequence data offers potential for increased genomic prediction accuracy.
  • Computational challenges arise from the large number of variants in whole-genome data.
  • Existing studies show variable improvements in accuracy compared to high-density SNP genotypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient strategy for approximating whole-genome sequence data analysis using a Bayesian variable selection model.
  • To evaluate the impact of variant selection and chromosomal splitting on analysis efficiency and prediction accuracy.
  • To investigate the influence of imputation errors on genomic prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Applied a Bayes R hybrid model to simulated whole-sequence data.
  • Tested strategies including dropping variants and splitting analyses by chromosome.
  • Assessed the effect of imputation errors on prediction accuracy.
  • Validated the approach on a large real-world dataset with imputed sequence data.

Main Results:

  • Prediction accuracy significantly increased for a novel breed using sequence data compared to HD SNP data in simulations.
  • Dropping variants or splitting analyses by chromosome reduced accuracy, but reanalyzing dropped variants together maintained accuracy.
  • Imputation errors decreased prediction accuracy, particularly in the validation population.
  • Real-data analysis showed similar accuracies for sequence variants and HD SNPs.

Conclusions:

  • An efficient Bayesian variable selection approach is presented for approximating whole-sequence data analysis.
  • Lack of accuracy increase in real data may stem from imputation errors, highlighting the need for improved imputation methods or targeted genotyping.
  • Direct genotyping of impactful sequence variants is crucial for maximizing prediction accuracy.
