QuASAR-MPRA: accurate allele-specific analysis for massively parallel reporter assays
Motivation The majority of the human genome is composed of non-coding regions containing regulatory elements such as enhancers, which are crucial for controlling gene expression. Many variants associated with complex traits are in these regions, and may disrupt gene regulatory sequences. Consequently, it is important to not only identify true enhancers but also to test if a variant within an en...
متن کاملMassively Parallel Reporter Assays in Cultured Mammalian Cells
The genetic reporter assay is a well-established and powerful tool for dissecting the relationship between DNA sequences and their gene regulatory activities. The potential throughput of this assay has, however, been limited by the need to individually clone and assay the activity of each sequence on interest using protein fluorescence or enzymatic activity as a proxy for regulatory activity. A...
متن کاملQuASAR: quantitative allele-specific analysis of reads
MOTIVATION Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have discovered thousands of genetic variants that regulate gene expression, enabling a better understanding of the functional role of non-coding sequences. However, eQTL studies are costly, requiring large sample sizes and genome-wide genotyping of each sample. In contrast, analysis of allele-specific expression (ASE) is becoming a p...
متن کاملPredicting gene expression in massively parallel reporter assays: A comparative study.
In many human diseases, associated genetic changes tend to occur within noncoding regions, whose effect might be related to transcriptional control. A central goal in human genetics is to understand the function of such noncoding regions: given a region that is statistically associated with changes in gene expression (expression quantitative trait locus [eQTL]), does it in fact play a regulator...
متن کاملMassively Parallel Biosequence Analysis
Massive parallelism is required for the analysis of the rapidly growing biosequence databases. First, this paper compares and benchmarks methods for dynamic programming sequence analysis on several parallel platforms. Next, a new hidden Markov model method and its implementation on several parallel machines is discussed. Finally, the results of a series of experiments using this massively paral...
