Detecting and measuring selection from gene frequency data.
The recent advent of high-throughput sequencing and genotyping technologies makes it possible to produce, easily and cost effectively, large amounts of detailed data on the genotype composition of populations. Detecting locus-specific effects may help identify those genes that have been, or are currently, targeted by natural selection. How best to identify these selected regions, loci, or singl...
متن کاملGene Identification from Microarray Data for Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid and Lymphoblastic Leukemia Using a Sparse Gene Selection Method
Background: Microarray experiments can simultaneously determine the expression of thousands of genes. Identification of potential genes from microarray data for diagnosis of cancer is important. This study aimed to identify genes for the diagnosis of acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia using a sparse feature selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the expressio...
متن کاملDetecting Directional Selection from the Polymorphism Frequency Spectrum
The distribution of genetic polymorphisms in a population contains information about the mutation rate and the strength of natural selection at a locus. Here, we show that the Poisson Random Field (PRF) method of population-genetic inference suffers from systematic biases that tend to underestimate selection pressures and mutation rates, and that erroneously infer positive selection. These prob...
متن کاملPrediction of blood cancer using leukemia gene expression data and sparsity-based gene selection methods
Background: DNA microarray is a useful technology that simultaneously assesses the expression of thousands of genes. It can be utilized for the detection of cancer types and cancer biomarkers. This study aimed to predict blood cancer using leukemia gene expression data and a robust ℓ2,p-norm sparsity-based gene selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the microarray ...
متن کاملMeasuring selection and gene flow during reinforcement
Gene flow can impede the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers between sympatric species. Reinforcement is the process by which pre-zygotic reproductive isolation evolves in sympatry due to selection to decrease costly hybridization. It is known that reinforcement can be prevented by too much gene flow, but it is unknown the extent to which reinforcement has naturally evolved in the pres...
