A fast, powerful method for detecting identity by descent.
We present a method, fastIBD, for finding tracts of identity by descent (IBD) between pairs of individuals. FastIBD can be applied to thousands of samples across genome-wide SNP data and is significantly more powerful for finding short tracts of IBD than existing methods for finding IBD tracts in such data. We show that fastIBD can detect facets of population structure that are not revealed by ...
متن کاملA Fast Descent Method for theHydro Storage
For many years energy optimization has dealt with large scale mixed integer linear programs. The paper concentrates on programs that are used for controlling an existing generation system consisting of thermal power units and pumped hydro storage plants, therefore they should be solved in real time. The problem can be decomposed into smaller problems using Lagrangian Relaxation. One of these pr...
متن کاملA descent method for explicit computations on curves
It is shown that the knowledge of a surjective morphism $Xto Y$ of complex curves can be effectively used to make explicit calculations. The method is demonstrated by the calculation of $j(ntau)$ (for some small $n$) in terms of $j(tau)$ for the elliptic curve with period lattice $(1,tau)$, the period matrix for the Jacobian of a family of genus-$2$ curves complementing the classi...
متن کاملDetecting Rare Variant Associations by Identity-by-Descent Mapping in Case-Control Studies
Identity-by-descent (IBD) mapping tests whether cases share more segments of IBD around a putative causal variant than do controls. These segments of IBD can be accurately detected from genome-wide SNP data. We investigate the power of IBD mapping relative to that of SNP association testing for genome-wide case-control SNP data. Our focus is particularly on rare variants, as these tend to be mo...
متن کاملDetecting Identity by Descent and Homozygosity Mapping in Whole-Exome Sequencing Data
The detection of genetic segments of Identical by Descent (IBD) in Genome-Wide Association Studies has proven successful in pinpointing genetic relatedness between reportedly unrelated individuals and leveraging such regions to shortlist candidate genes. These techniques depend on high-density genotyping arrays and their effectiveness in diverse sequence data is largely unknown. Due to decreasi...
