概括
我们开发了一种计算方法,用于在调节区域中识别功能单核酸多态 (SNP). 这种方法优先考虑SNP影响Janus酶信号转换器和转录通路的激活器,以便进一步研究.
科学领域:
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 数以百万计的人类单核酸多态 (SNP) 已被确定,但它们的功能影响仍然在很大程度上是未知的.
- 大多数SNP位于基因间区域,并可能通过改变 cis-regulatory elements (CREs) 中的转录因子结合位影响基因调节.
- 鉴定功能性SNP是具有挑战性的,因为大量的SNP和潜在的结合动机.
研究的目的:
- 开发和评估一个数据驱动的计算协议,用于在CREs中对功能SNP进行优先级,以进行实验验证.
- 为了研究 Janus 激酶 (JAK) - 信号转换器和转录激活器 (STAT) 信号通路内的 SNP.
主要方法:
- 扫描了人类基因组 (hg38) 寻找与正规STATTF结合基因 (TTCnnnGAA) 相差一个核酸的DNA序列.
- 过了超过330万个SNP的初始池,跨越近1700万个STAT图案.
- 利用开放的染色体,基因表达数据,接近免疫反应基因和跨物种保护来改进SNP选择.
主要成果:
- 在JAK-STAT路径中确定了六个具有高潜力的功能获取SNP.
- 这些优先级的SNP位于可能影响基因调节的区域.
- 该协议有效地将数百万个SNP缩小到可管理的集合,以便进一步调查.
结论:
- 将基因组,表观基因组和跨物种保护数据结合起来,可以有效地识别监管SNP.
- 该研究提供了一组专注的候选SNP用于实验验证,可能影响干扰素调节.
- 这种方法有助于更有效地探索功能性SNP及其在基因表达和疾病中的作用.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
12.3K
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.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
13.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
