概括

甲基-TWAS 通过使用DNA甲基化数据,改善了 in silico转录组全协会研究 (TWAS) 的基因表达赋值. 这种新的方法比基于基因型的方法识别了更多的差异表达基因 (DEG),特别是在复杂的疾病中.

科学领域:

基因组学就是基因组学.
表观遗传学在表观遗传学中,表观遗传学是指表观遗传学.
计算生物学计算生物学

背景情况:

在转录全组关联研究 (TWAS) 中,传统上使用基因型数据将基因表达与复杂的特征联系起来.
基于基因型的TWAS方法,如PrediX,由于缺乏组织特异性和环境影响,其预测准确性有限.
基因甲基化是组织特异性的,受环境因素的影响,使其成为基因表达的潜在更好的预测因素.

结论:

甲基-TWAS是in silico TWAS的一个强大的新工具,通过利用全基因组DNA甲基化数据来提高识别DEG的能力.
与现有的基于基因型的方法相比,这种方法提供了更高的准确性和更广泛的疾病相关基因发现.
这种方法利用了越来越多的公共DNA甲基化数据集在各种人体组织中的可用性.

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...
