Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.6K
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...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.0K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Improving Translational Accuracy

11.6K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems01:22

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

132
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...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

578
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Cluster Sampling Method01:20

Cluster Sampling Method

12.0K
Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

    Summary

    Stacked Regression based TWAS (SR-TWAS) enhances gene discovery for complex diseases by optimally combining multiple gene expression imputation models. This approach increases statistical power, identifying novel risk genes for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

    • Genetics
    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Gene expression imputation is crucial for transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS).
    • Existing imputation models often use single reference panels, limiting their generalizability.
    • Integrating multiple reference panels and regression methods can improve imputation accuracy and TWAS power.

    Conclusions:

    • SR-TWAS offers a powerful approach to leverage multiple gene expression imputation models for enhanced TWAS.
    • The tool successfully identified biologically relevant risk genes for AD and PD.
    • This stacked regression strategy holds promise for future genetic association studies.
