What is Variation?01:14

What is Variation?

18.6K
Apart from the measures of central tendency, distribution, outliers, and the changing characteristics of data with time, an important characteristic of any data set is its variation or spread. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in others, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean.
The range, standard deviation, standard error, and variance are the different measures of variation.
Range: The range is the difference between its maximum and...

Variation

8.0K
An important characteristic of any set of data is the variation in the data. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in other data sets, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean. The most common measure of variation, or spread, is the standard deviation, which is the square root of variance.
When independent and dependent variables are plotted on a scatter plot, the slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the two...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.9K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure01:18

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure

4.2K
Change in atmospheric pressure with height is particularly interesting. The decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude is due to the decreasing gravitational force per unit area as we move away from the surface of the earth.
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.8K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Coefficient of Variation01:10

Coefficient of Variation

8.7K
The coefficient of variation measures the dispersion of the data points or distribution around the mean. Using the coefficient of variation, we can compare two data series with drastically different means or different units of measurement. The coefficient of variation for a sample and a population is expressed as a percentage of the ratio of standard deviation to the mean.
The coefficient of variation is a practical statistical tool in finance. It allows investors to assess the volatility or...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Copy number variations (CNVs) detected by microarrays are often missed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). CNV calling accuracy improves when relying on robust algorithms rather than cross-platform validation.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Copy number variations (CNVs) are crucial genomic alterations.
  • Microarrays and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are primary CNV detection platforms.
  • Discrepancies exist in CNV calling accuracy between microarrays and NGS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To deeply analyze copy number losses using both SNP microarray and NGS data.
  • To evaluate the consistency and accuracy of CNV calling across platforms.
  • To investigate the impact of cross-platform experimental support on CNV detection.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 254 human DNA samples with publicly available microarray and NGS data.
  • Utilized CNVhac algorithm for CNV calling from microarray data.
  • Compared CNV calls between Hapmap and 1000 Genomes Projects.
  • Assessed NGS read mapping depth and breakpoint support for identified CNVs.

Main Results:

  • Low overlap (<30%) in CNVs reported by Hapmap and 1000 Genomes Projects.
  • CNVs identified by CNVhac from microarray data showed low NGS read mapping depth.
  • 88% of CNVs identified by CNVhac were supported by NGS breakpoint sequences.
  • Microarray data, with accurate algorithms, provides reliable CNV reports.

Conclusions:

  • Cross-platform experimental support may introduce false negatives in CNV detection.
  • Inconsistencies between projects may stem from data limitations or differing criteria.
  • Reliable CNV callers can generate trustworthy results without mandatory cross-platform validation.
