Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.2K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.9K
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%...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

35.3K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

What is Population Genetics?

59.7K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Genomics

37.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Population Genomics
  • Genotyping Methodologies
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Low-coverage shotgun sequencing combined with genotype imputation offers a cost-effective approach for population genomics.
  • Widespread adoption of imputation is hindered by the lack of diverse, publicly available reference panels.
  • Joint imputation methods leverage target population data to improve genotype calling, potentially overcoming reference panel limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of various genotyping approaches on low-coverage genomes from Indonesian populations.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a joint imputation strategy using related genomes as a reference panel.
  • To compare genotype accuracy and population genetic inference from joint imputation versus pseudohaploid calls.

Main Methods:

  • Genotyping of eight low-coverage genomes (3×–5×) from Indonesian populations.
  • Application of a joint imputation approach utilizing 248 additional low-coverage genomes (mean 2.4×) from related populations.
  • Comparison of genotype calls and population genetic inferences against pseudohaploid calls.

Main Results:

  • Joint imputation, even with a weakly representative reference panel, yielded more accurate genotype calls.
  • Population genetic inferences derived from joint imputation showed similar accuracy but improved precision compared to pseudohaploid calls.
  • The study demonstrated enhanced performance of joint imputation for Indonesian populations.

Conclusions:

  • Joint imputation significantly enhances genotype accuracy and precision in population genomic studies.
  • This method is particularly valuable for taxa lacking extensive reference panels, enabling economical research.
  • The findings underscore the potential of joint imputation for advancing population genetics in underrepresented species.
