Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

29.7K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
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...

Detection of Gross Error: The Q Test

6.9K
When one or more data points appear far from the rest of the data, there is a need to determine whether they are outliers and whether they should be eliminated from the data set to ensure an accurate representation of the measured value. In many cases, outliers arise from gross errors (or human errors) and do not accurately reflect the underlying phenomenon. In some cases, however, these apparent outliers reflect true phenomenological differences. In these cases, we can use statistical methods...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.3K
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...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.7K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors01:15

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

9.4K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Area of Science:

  • Quantitative genetics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Accurate genetic evaluations depend on high-quality phenotypic data.
  • Measurement errors and data inconsistencies challenge the reliability of genetic evaluations.
  • Unsupervised or incomplete data sources contribute to these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of response errors on genetic evaluations for continuous and categorical traits.
  • To introduce a model for understanding how phenotypic errors influence genetic effects and variance estimation.
  • To demonstrate methods for adjusting genetic evaluations in the presence of misclassified data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an additive measurement error model for continuous traits.
  • Examined a binary trait scenario using sensitivity and specificity for misclassification adjustment.
  • Proposed a mixed effects liability model for genetic evaluation with unequal sensitivity and specificity.

Main Results:

  • Phenotypic errors were shown to influence genetic effects and variance estimation.
  • Sensitivity and specificity were demonstrated as useful metrics for adjusting incidence rates in misclassified binary trait data.
  • The mixed effects liability model effectively illustrated genetic evaluation with varied misclassification rates.

Conclusions:

  • Measurement error models are essential for reducing bias in genetic evaluations.
  • Integrating these models enhances the predictive accuracy of genetic evaluations.
  • Addressing data inconsistencies is critical for reliable genetic analyses.
