Genetic Screens

4.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.3K
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 Comparisons

5.7K
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:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Data Privacy

Background:

  • Genetic data is often considered inherently identifiable, posing significant privacy risks.
  • Evaluating the reidentification risk of genetic datasets is complex due to varying data characteristics.
  • There is a lack of clear guidelines for data processors to assess genetic data privacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively understand the privacy vulnerabilities associated with genetic data.
  • To develop a framework guiding data processors in assessing genetic data privacy risks.
  • To summarize key features influencing the reidentification potential of genetic datasets.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step literature search was conducted, identifying 21 review articles on genomic privacy.
  • References from these reviews (n=1645) were analyzed to find 42 original research studies on privacy attacks.
  • The type of genetic data exploited, resources required, and success rates of privacy attacks were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • Nine non-mutually exclusive features of genetic data were identified as critical for privacy risk assessment.
  • These features include biological modality, assay type, data format, germline/somatic variation, SNP content, STRs, aggregated measures, structural variants, and rare variants.
  • These features are inherent to genetic datasets and informative about their reidentification potential.

Conclusions:

  • The identified 9 features provide a foundation for assessing genetic data privacy risks.
  • Evaluating these features covers the majority of privacy-critical aspects of genetic data.
  • This framework offers guidance for data processors to systematically evaluate the privacy of genetic datasets.
