Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

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...

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

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.

Weighted Mean

Weighted Mean

While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Background:

Feature selection is crucial for gene expression data analysis.
Current methods often lack biological interpretability.
Integrating prior biological knowledge can enhance analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an integrative feature selection approach.
To combine weighted LASSO with biological prior knowledge.
To improve both predictive performance and biological interpretability.

Main Methods:

Developed an embedded integrative approach for feature selection.
Created a novel score of biological relevance.
Integrated weighted LASSO with biological knowledge in a single step.

Main Results:

The proposed approach identifies the most predictive genes.
It significantly enhances the biological interpretability of results.
Outperformed standard LASSO in experiments.

Conclusions:

The integrative approach effectively balances predictive power and biological insight.
This method offers a more interpretable alternative for gene expression analysis.
Code is publicly available for reproducibility.
