Statistical Analysis in Genome-Wide Association Studies on GenoType-Imputed Family Data: A Research Strategy to Compare Various Toolsets
Freely available toolsets that can handle genome-wide association (GWA) studies on twin-family data and take into account imputed genotypes are growing in number. However, the documentation that comes with them (if available), does not facilitate the choice for a particular toolset. We propose a research strategy in which we compare ASSOC, EMMAX, MERLIN, PLINK and ProbABEL on feasibility and st...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Mapping of Quantitative Traits in Outbred Mice
Recent developments in high-density genotyping and statistical analysis methods that have enabled genome-wide association studies in humans can also be applied to outbred mouse populations. Increased recombination in outbred populations is expected to provide greater mapping resolution than traditional inbred line crosses, improving prospects for identifying the causal genes. We carried out gen...
متن کاملData Mining in Genome Wide Association Studies
The genetic basis for some human diseases, in which one or a few genome regions increase the probability of acquiring the disease, is fairly well understood. For example, the risk for cystic fibrosis is linked to particular genomic regions. Identifying the genetic basis of more common diseases such as diabetes has proven to be more difficult, because many genome regions apparently are involved,...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Studies for Comb Traits in Chickens
The comb, as a secondary sexual character, is an important trait in chicken. Indicators of comb length (CL), comb height (CH), and comb weight (CW) are often selected in production. DNA-based marker-assisted selection could help chicken breeders to accelerate genetic improvement for comb or related economic characters by early selection. Although a number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and ca...
متن کاملPower of selective genotyping in genome-wide association studies of quantitative traits
The selective genotyping approach in quantitative genetics means genotyping only individuals with extreme phenotypes. This approach is considered an efficient way to perform gene mapping, and can be applied in both linkage and association studies. Selective genotyping in association mapping of quantitative trait loci was proposed to increase the power of detecting rare alleles of large effect. ...
