Exploring Diallelic Genetic Markers: The HardyWeinberg Package
Testing genetic markers for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is an important issue in genetic association studies. The HardyWeinberg package offers the classical autosomal tests for equilibrium, functions for power computation and for the simulation of marker data under equilibrium and disequilibrium. Recently, specific frequentist and Bayesian tests for X-chromosomal markers have been developed and ...
متن کاملOn selecting markers for association studies: patterns of linkage disequilibrium between two and three diallelic loci.
Association studies depend on linkage disequilibrium (LD) between a causative mutation and linked marker loci. Selecting markers that give the best chance of showing useful levels of LD with the causative mutation will increase the chances of successfully detecting an association. This report examines the variation in the extent of LD between a disease locus and one or two diallelic marker loci...
متن کاملHuman diallelic insertion/deletion polymorphisms.
We report the identification and characterization of 2,000 human diallelic insertion/deletion polymorphisms (indels) distributed throughout the human genome. Candidate indels were identified by comparison of overlapping genomic or cDNA sequences. Average confirmation rate for indels with a > or =2-nt allele-length difference was 58%, but the confirmation rate for indels with a 1-nt length diffe...

are heterogeneous with respect to molecular weight, buoyant density, and thermal stability. This finding constitutes evidence against unique points of breakage during DNA isolation. The variation in buoyant density suggests a local compositional heterogeneity in the chromosomal region of certain markers. The variation in molecular weight provides an explanation for the results of certain transf...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent selection: the high potential for permanent genetic variation in the diallelic, pairwise interaction model.
A detailed analytic and numerical study is made of the potential for permanent genetic variation in frequency-dependent models based on pairwise interactions among genotypes at a single diallelic locus. The full equilibrium structure and qualitative gene-frequency dynamics are derived analytically for a symmetric model, in which pairwise fitnesses are chiefly determined by the genetic similarit...
