FSuite: exploiting inbreeding in dense SNP chip and exome data
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED FSuite is a user-friendly pipeline developed for exploiting inbreeding information derived from human genomic data. It can make use of single nucleotide polymorphism chip or exome data. Compared with other software, the advantage of FSuite is that it provides a complete suite of scripts to describe and use the inbreeding information. It includes a module to detect inbred individuals and estimate their inbreeding coefficient, a module to describe the proportion of different mating types in the population and the individual probability to be offspring of different mating types that can be useful for population genetic studies. It also allows the identification of shared regions of homozygosity between affected individuals (homozygosity mapping) that can be used to identify rare recessive mutations involved in monogenic or multifactorial diseases. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION FSuite is developed in Perl and uses R functions to generate graphical outputs. This pipeline is freely available under GNU GPL license at: http://genestat.cephb.fr/software/index.php/FSuite.

Run of Homozygosity a Procedure to Detecting Inbreeding in Farm Animals
Inbreeding depression is a harmful phenomenon in livestock which is outcome of inbreeding. Inbreeding is consequence mating between two individuals who are more related to each other than average relatedness in population, which results in reducing in fitness of progenies and genetic variability in populations. Development of high-density genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array f...
متن کاملQuantification of Inbreeding Due to Distant Ancestors and Its Detection Using Dense Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Data
Inbreeding depression, which refers to reduced fitness among offspring of related parents, has traditionally been studied using pedigrees. In practice, pedigree information is difficult to obtain, potentially unreliable, and rarely assessed for inbreeding arising from common ancestors who lived more than a few generations ago. Recently, there has been excitement about using SNP data to estimate...

The 1000 Genomes Project provides a unique source of whole genome sequencing data for studies of human population genetics and human diseases. The last release of this project includes more than 2,500 sequenced individuals from 26 populations. Although relationships among individuals have been investigated in some of the populations, inbreeding has never been studied. In this article, we estima...
متن کاملInbreeding depression across the lifespan in a wild mammal population.
Inbreeding depression is of major concern for the conservation of threatened species, and inbreeding avoidance is thought to be a key driver in the evolution of mating systems. However, the estimation of individual inbreeding coefficients in natural populations has been challenging, and, consequently, the full effect of inbreeding on fitness remains unclear. Genomic inbreeding coefficients may ...
متن کاملInbreeding coefficient estimation with dense SNP data: comparison of strategies and application to HapMap III.
BACKGROUND/AIMS If the parents of an individual are related, it is possible for the individual to have received at 1 locus 2 identical-by-descent alleles that are copies of a single allele carried by the parents' common ancestor. The inbreeding coefficient measures the probability of this event and increases with increasing relatedness between the parents. It is traditionally computed from the ...
