Genealogical data in population medical genetics: Field guidelines
This is a guide for fieldwork in Population Medical Genetics research projects. Data collection, handling, and analysis from large pedigrees require the use of specific tools and methods not widely familiar to human geneticists, unfortunately leading to ineffective graphic pedigrees. Initially, the objective of the pedigree must be decided, and the available information sources need to be ident...
متن کاملLine-of-descent and genealogical processes, and their applications in population genetics models.
A variety of results for genealogical and line-of-descent processes that arise in connection with the theory of some classical selectively neutral population genetics models are reviewed. While some new results and derivations are included, the principle aim is to demonstrate the central importance and simplicity of genealogical Markov chains in this theory. Considerable attention is given to "...
متن کاملPopulation genetics without intraspecific data.
A central goal of computational biology is the prediction of phenotype from DNA and protein sequence data. Recent models of sequence change use in silico prediction systems to incorporate the effects of phenotype on evolutionary rates. These models have been designed for analyzing sequence data from different species and have been accompanied by statistical techniques for estimating model param...
متن کاملGenealogical structuring of a population.
The study observed population of 484 generation restrictive genealogies collected in four Croatian regions during 1970/71 within "The study of fat and carbohydrate metabolism indicators correlated with the occurrence of diabetes in animal fat and oil consuming population groups". The genealogies were collected on two islands (Brac and Hvar) and in two continental regions (Sinjska Krajina and Sr...
متن کاملGenealogical constructions of population models
Representations of population models in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed, in which each particle has a ‘type’, typically recording both spatial position and genetic type, and a level. For finite intensity models, the levels are distributed on [0, λ], whereas in the infinite intensity limit λ→∞, at each time t, the joint distribution of types and levels is conditionally Po...
