Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.5K
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%...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.2K
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...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Detecting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interactions is crucial for genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
  • High-order SNP combinations in large datasets pose a significant challenge to identifying complex genetic interactions.
  • Existing methods struggle with the computational burden and statistical power for detecting higher-order SNP interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel two-stage approach, HiSSI, for detecting high-order SNP-SNP interactions.
  • To improve the power and accuracy of identifying complex genetic associations in GWAS.
  • To address the limitations of existing methods in handling large-scale SNP data.

Main Methods:

  • HiSSI utilizes a two-stage strategy: a screening stage and a searching stage.
  • The screening stage employs a statistically significant pattern controlling the family-wise error rate to identify candidate pairwise SNP combinations.
  • The searching stage uses exhaustive and heuristic (differential evolution with chi-squared test) strategies to detect high-order interactions from candidate pairs.

Main Results:

  • HiSSI demonstrated superior power in detecting two-locus and three-locus disease models compared to other approaches in simulated experiments.
  • Experiments on a real breast cancer dataset (WTCCC) validated HiSSI's effectiveness.
  • HiSSI successfully identified significant two-locus and three-locus interactions associated with breast cancer.

Conclusions:

  • HiSSI is a powerful and effective method for identifying high-order SNP-SNP interactions.
  • The proposed two-stage approach overcomes limitations in detecting complex genetic associations in GWAS.
  • HiSSI shows promise for advancing genetic research, particularly in complex disease studies.
