In silico mapping of complex disease-related traits in mice.
Experimental murine genetic models of complex human disease show great potential for understanding human disease pathogenesis. To reduce the time required for analysis of such models from many months down to milliseconds, a computational method for predicting chromosomal regions regulating phenotypic traits and a murine database of single nucleotide polymorphisms were developed. After entry of ...
متن کاملLeveraging gene co-expression networks to pinpoint the regulation of complex traits and disease, with a focus on cardiovascular traits.
Over the past decade, the number of genome-scale transcriptional datasets in publicly available databases has climbed to nearly one million, providing an unprecedented opportunity for extensive analyses of gene co-expression networks. In systems-genetic studies of complex diseases researchers increasingly focus on groups of highly interconnected genes within complex transcriptional networks (re...
متن کاملThe Complex Inheritance of Maize Domestication Traits and Gene Expression
The genetic basis for morphological change in divergent species is a central question in evolutionary biology. The domestication of maize from its wild progenitor, teosinte, is an excellent system to address this question. We explore the large effect on domestication phenotypes of a poorly understood region of the maize genome using a chromosome five specific mapping population. Unlike other la...
متن کاملStrategies for fine-mapping complex traits
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of robust and replicable genetic associations for complex disease. However, the identification of the causal variants that underlie these associations has been more difficult. This problem of fine-mapping association signals predates GWAS, but the last few years have seen a surge of studies aimed at pinpointing causal variants usi...
متن کاملGeneralized Admixture Mapping for Complex Traits
Admixture mapping is a popular tool to identify regions of the genome associated with traits in a recently admixed population. Existing methods have been developed primarily for identification of a single locus influencing a dichotomous trait within a case-control study design. We propose a generalized admixture mapping (GLEAM) approach, a flexible and powerful regression method for both quanti...
