Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.8K
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...

Genomics

40.9K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.3K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Power

13.1K
The concept of work involves force and displacement; meanwhile, the work-energy theorem relates the net work done on a body to the difference in its kinetic energy, calculated between two points on its trajectory. While none of these quantities or relations involves time explicitly, we know that the time available to accomplish work is often just as important as the amount of work itself. For example, sprinters in a race may have achieved the same velocity at the finish, therefore,...

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

9.2K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

Buffer Effectiveness02:19

Buffer Effectiveness

55.5K
Buffer solutions do not have an unlimited capacity to keep the pH relatively constant . Instead, the ability of a buffer solution to resist changes in pH relies on the presence of appreciable amounts of its conjugate weak acid-base pair. When enough strong acid or base is added to substantially lower the concentration of either member of the buffer pair, the buffering action within the solution is compromised.
The buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a given volume...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Biostatistics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involve analyzing hundreds of thousands of genetic variants (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) for their association with quantitative traits.
  • Current screening methods often rely on marginal SNP effects, which may not be optimal for detecting complex genetic architectures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel statistical test for genome-wide screening of genetic variants.
  • To improve the power of detecting associations in the presence of weak genetic effects and high correlations among SNPs.

Main Methods:

  • A new test statistic is proposed, based on conditional effects from multiple SNPs, designed to handle weak genetic effects.
  • The test incorporates correlations among genetic variables, accounting for linkage disequilibrium.
  • The limiting null distribution and power of the test were derived and compared against existing methods via simulations and real data analysis.

Main Results:

  • The proposed test demonstrates superior power compared to the minimum p-value method, particularly under conditions of weak SNP effects and high SNP correlations.
  • Simulations and real data analysis indicate that the new test outperforms other established methods like the Higher Criticism (HC) test and the sequence kernel association test (SKAT).

Conclusions:

  • The developed test offers a more advantageous approach for genome-wide screening of quantitative traits, especially in complex genetic scenarios.
  • This method provides a powerful alternative for identifying genetic variants underlying complex diseases and traits.
