Genome-Wide Association Studies Identify Two Novel BMP15 Mutations Responsible for an Atypical Hyperprolificacy Phenotype in Sheep
Some sheep breeds are naturally prolific, and they are very informative for the studies of reproductive genetics and physiology. Major genes increasing litter size (LS) and ovulation rate (OR) were suspected in the French Grivette and the Polish Olkuska sheep populations, respectively. To identify genetic variants responsible for the highly prolific phenotype in these two breeds, genome-wide as...
متن کاملGenome-wide association studies in the Japanese population identify seven novel loci for type 2 diabetes.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 80 susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most of its heritability still remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS for T2D in the Japanese population. Combined data from discovery and subsequent validation analyses (23,399 T2D cases and 31,722 controls) identify 7 new loci with genom...
متن کاملPhenotype Prediction and Feature Selection in Genome - Wide Association Studies
PHENOTYPE PREDICTION AND FEATURE SELECTION IN GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES by Andrew Roberts Genome wide association studies (GWAS) search for correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a subject genome and an observed phenotype. GWAS can be used to generate models for predicting phenotype based on genotype, as well as aiding in identification of specific genes affecting ...
متن کاملGenome-wide association studies identify new melanoma susceptibility loci
We report results of the genome-wide association studies for melanoma that were conducted by the GenoMEL Consortium. In the first study 2981 individuals with melanoma and 8408 study-specific control individuals of European ancestry were analysed, in the second experiment 2168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4387 control individuals were genotyped for 317,000 or 610,000 singlenucleotide...
متن کاملGenome-wide Association Studies
Progress in probabilistic generative models has accelerated, developing richer models with neural architectures, implicit densities, and with scalable algorithms for their Bayesian inference. However, there has been limited progress in models that capture causal relationships, for example, how individual genetic factors cause major human diseases. In this work, we focus on two challenges in par...
