概括

在人口遗传学中,地理范围广泛的采样增加了罕见变异的发现,但降低了它们的检测频率. 这影响了对疾病关联和负选择的研究,特别是在大型生物库中.

科学领域:

人口遗传学人口遗传学
基因组研究设计设计
进化生物学进化生物学

背景情况:

样本的地理范围是种群遗传学研究设计的关键因素.
地理采样范围对罕见,有害变异的观察的影响尚不清楚.
了解这种影响对于遗传数据的生物医学和进化应用至关重要.

研究的目的:

调查采样的地理广度如何影响负面选择变异的发现.

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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

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%...
