Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

14.9K
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

13.2K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.6K
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%...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping is crucial for genetic research linking variations to diseases.
  • Existing methods like Genome Studio encounter
  • no-calls
  • hindering downstream analysis.
  • Advances in genome technology have improved SNP genotyping, but challenges remain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Cluster Buster, a novel genotyping neural network and visual inspection system.
  • To improve the quality and recovery of genotypes for neurodegenerative disease (NDD) research.
  • To reduce manual labor in genotype recovery and enhance data reliability.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a genotyping neural network and visual inspection system called Cluster Buster.
  • Concordance analysis of Cluster Buster genotypes with whole genome sequencing (WGS) and imputed genotypes.
  • Evaluation of SNP performance across key loci such as LRRK2, APOE, and GBA.

Main Results:

  • Cluster Buster demonstrated high reliability, with dozens of SNPs achieving at least 90% concordance with WGS and imputed genotypes.
  • Identified discrepancies between Genome Studio, imputed, and WGS genotyping technologies.
  • Showcased significant reduction in manual effort for recovering no-call SNPs.

Conclusions:

  • Cluster Buster effectively improves genotype quality and reduces manual workload in NDD research.
  • The system refines genotype data for large-scale programs like the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2).
  • Enhanced genotype data facilitates better imputation and Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) outcomes, advancing NDD understanding.
