Can Lessons Learned from Genome-Wide Research be Applied to Nutrition-Wide and Exposure-Wide Evidence?
Human genomics and human nutrition are two very large domains of epidemiological investigation, but their overlap has remained relatively limited to date. Most studies that address genetic risk factors ignore nutritional and other related exposures, and vice versa. Both domains have not only a history of exciting discoveries, but also a tenuous, if not poor, replication record (Ioannidis, 2005a...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
Domestication and selection are processes that conserve the pattern of genetic diversities between and within populations. Identification of genomic regions that are targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the main aims of research in animal genetics. An approach for identifying divergently selected regions of the genome is to compare FST values among loci to estimate the genetic v...
متن کاملImpact of vitamin D on immune function: lessons learned from genome-wide analysis
Immunomodulatory responses to the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, 1,25D) have been recognized for many years, but it is only in the last 5 years that the potential role of this in normal human immune function has been recognized. Genome-wide analyses have played a pivotal role in redefining our perspective on vitamin D and immunity. The description of increased vitamin D rece...
متن کاملLessons from functional analysis of genome-wide association studies.
Most cancer-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) identified using genome-wide association studies are located outside of protein-coding regions, and their significance and mode of action have been a source of continuing debate. One proposed mechanism of action of the SNPs is that they would affect the activity of enhancer elements regulating critical target genes. In this review, we...
متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
