Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.5K
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...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

201
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence...

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

67.0K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

644
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genomic prediction methods often overlook valuable biological data like genome annotations.
  • Existing methods for incorporating biological information primarily focus on single-trait analysis and have limited prior options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate advanced genomic prediction methods that integrate biological information for both single- and multiple-trait analyses.
  • To introduce the multi-class Bayesian Alphabet approach, expanding the utility of biological information in genomic prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed the multi-class Bayesian Alphabet methods, allowing diverse Bayesian Alphabet priors (RR-BLUP, BayesA, BayesB, BayesCΠ, Bayesian LASSO) for biologically classified molecular markers.
  • Applied these methods to both simulated and real-world datasets for comprehensive performance evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated superior performance of the multi-class Bayesian Alphabet methods in genomic prediction compared to conventional approaches.
  • Validated the effectiveness of incorporating biological information through marker classification and tailored priors.

Conclusions:

  • The multi-class Bayesian Alphabet methods offer enhanced prediction accuracy in genomic prediction by effectively utilizing biological information.
  • The developed methods and the accompanying JWAS software tool provide a robust framework for advanced genomic prediction.
