Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

1.2K
Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.6K
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%...

Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

29.6K
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.

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain01:29

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain

585
Three-dimensional strain analysis is crucial for understanding how materials deform under stress, particularly in elastic, homogeneous materials. This method employs principal stress axes to simplify complex stress states into more understandable forms. Subjected to stress, a small cubic element within a material either expands or contracts along these axes, transforming into a rectangular parallelepiped. This transformation effectively illustrates the material's deformation. The principal...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Structural Variations (SVs) are crucial for understanding genome diversity and evolution.
  • Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) patterns, particularly between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), can reveal population structure and demographic history.
  • Mexican populations exhibit unique genetic diversity influenced by Native and Mestizo ancestries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a genome-wide characterization of Structural Variations (SVs) in 10 Native and Mestizo Mexican populations.
  • To investigate the relationship between SVs, inferred from SNP-based Linkage Disequilibrium (LD), and population structure.
  • To identify potential SVs associated with health conditions prevalent in the Mexican population.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized SNP genotyping data from 383 individuals across 10 Mexican populations.
  • Analyzed deviations in expected short-range Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify SVs.
  • Mapped identified SVs to genes to assess their potential functional and health-related implications.

Main Results:

  • Identified 4,375 structural variations across the 10 populations, averaging 19,438 SNPs per population.
  • Characterized mean SV sizes ranging from 2,845-8,646 kb, with an average of 50.14 SNPs per SV.
  • Discovered 506 distinct SV regions, with 54 regions common to all 10 populations, and identified 8,443 genes affected by these variations, including FTO, ABCA1, and ELMO1 linked to obesity and diabetes.

Conclusions:

  • SVs, detected via SNP-LD deviations, effectively capture population structure and demographic history.
  • These identified SVs represent potential targets for understanding population-specific diseases in Mexican populations.
  • The study provides a valuable genomic resource for future research into the genetic basis of health and disease in Mexico.
