概括
使用全外基因组数据估计突变年龄是可行的,尽管与全基因组数据相比,精度略有下降,但Relate显示出最佳性能. 目前的工具需要进一步开发,以适应更大的样本规模.
科学领域:
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 人口遗传学 人口遗传学
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 个性化基因组学越来越负担得起,导致发现了许多罕见的变异.
- 确定这些变异与疾病表型相关的功能影响至关重要.
- 估计突变的年龄 (等位基因年龄) 是特征罕见变异的一种方法.
研究的目的:
- 评估现有的等位基因年龄估计器 (Relate,变异年龄的基因学估计器,Runtc) 的性能,使用全外体数据.
- 评估这些估计器在不同的人口模型 (中性常数,扩展,背景选择) 下的表现.
- 为了比较整个基因组和整个外基因组数据集之间的等位基因年龄估计的准确性.
主要方法:
- 模拟的全外因子测序数据是根据各种种群遗传模型生成的.
- 在模拟数据中应用了三种已建立的等位基因年龄估计程序 (Relate,变异年龄的基因估计器,Runtc).
- 通过使用皮尔森相关系数将估计的等位基因年龄与真实模拟年龄进行比较来评估性能.
主要成果:
- 这三位估计者都从整个外体数据中提供了可用的等位基因年龄估计.
- 关联表现最好,达到0.83 (中性常数) 和0.73 (扩展模型) 的皮尔森系数.
- 基于全外基因组数据的估计显示,与全基因组数据相比,相关性略有下降 (12-20%),其中Relate是最容易对比的.
结论:
- 现有的等位基因年龄估计方法,特别是Relate,对于分析整个外体组数据是可行的.
- 虽然与全基因组数据相比,性能略有下降,但估计仍然可以使用.
- 需要进一步开发以将这些方法扩展到当前基因组研究中常见的大样本大小.

5.6K
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...

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
