A Permutation Test for Oligoset DNA Pooling Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case-control association studies often suffer from population stratification bias. A previous triple combination strategy of stratum matching, genomic controlling, and multiple DNA pooling can correct the bias and save genotyping cost. However the method requires researchers to prepare a multitude of DNA pools-more than 30 case-control pooling sets in total (polyset). In this paper, the authors propose a permutation test for oligoset DNA pooling studies. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed test has a type I error rate under control and a power comparable to that of individual genotyping. For a researcher on a tight budget, oligoset DNA pooling is a viable option.

A versatile gene-based test for genome-wide association studies.
We have derived a versatile gene-based test for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our approach, called VEGAS (versatile gene-based association study), is applicable to all GWAS designs, including family-based GWAS, meta-analyses of GWAS on the basis of summary data, and DNA-pooling-based GWAS, where existing approaches based on permutation are not possible, as well as singleton data, wher...
متن کاملEstimating p-values in small microarray experiments
MOTIVATION Microarray data typically have small numbers of observations per gene, which can result in low power for statistical tests. Test statistics that borrow information from data across all of the genes can improve power, but these statistics have non-standard distributions, and their significance must be assessed using permutation analysis. When sample sizes are small, the number of dist...
متن کاملFractioned DNA pooling: a new cost-effective strategy for fine mapping of quantitative trait loci.
Selective DNA pooling (SDP) is a cost-effective means for an initial scan for linkage between marker and quantitative trait loci (QTL) in suitable populations. The method is based on scoring marker allele frequencies in DNA pools from the tails of the population trait distribution. Various analytical approaches have been proposed for QTL detection using data on multiple families with SDP analys...
متن کاملComments on the analysis of unbalanced microarray data
MOTIVATION Permutation testing is very popular for analyzing microarray data to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes; estimating false discovery rates (FDRs) is a very popular way to address the inherent multiple testing problem. However, combining these approaches may be problematic when sample sizes are unequal. RESULTS With unbalanced data, permutation tests may not be suitable bec...
متن کاملImproving CCA based fMRI Analysis by Covariance Pooling - Using the GPU for Statistical Inference
Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a statistical method that can be preferable to the general linear model (GLM) for analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. There are, however, two problems with CCA based fMRI analysis. First, it is not feasible to use a parametric approach to calculate an activity threshold for a certain significance level. Second, two covariance ma...
