Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.1K
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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.7K
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,...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.5K
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...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.5K
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...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

75.7K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

  • Genomics
  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Measuring genomic variant fitness requires analyzing large population datasets.
  • Identifying maximal perfect haplotype blocks is a key computational step.
  • Missing data in single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calls is common due to technical limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for finding maximal perfect haplotype blocks in the presence of missing SNP data.
  • To extend the definition of maximal perfect haplotype blocks to accommodate missing values (wildcards).
  • To provide an efficient algorithm for identifying these blocks in large genomic datasets.

Main Methods:

  • The study extends the definition of maximal perfect haplotype blocks to include missing values treated as wildcards.
  • An output-linear time algorithm was developed to identify all such blocks.
  • The algorithm was tested on a large population SNP dataset.

Main Results:

  • The developed algorithm successfully identifies maximal perfect haplotype blocks with missing data.
  • The method is efficient, operating in output-linear time.
  • The algorithm's performance was demonstrated on a substantial population SNP dataset.

Conclusions:

  • The new algorithm effectively handles missing SNP data when identifying haplotype blocks.
  • This work provides a scalable and efficient computational tool for population genomics.
  • The publicly available software facilitates further research in genomic variant analysis.
