Genetic Studies: The Linear Mixed Models in Genome-wide Association Studies
With the availability of high-density genomic data containing millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms and tens or hundreds of thousands of individuals, genetic association study is likely to identify the variants contributing to complex traits in a genome-wide scale. However, genome-wide association studies are confounded by some spurious associations due to not properly interpreting sample...
متن کاملSoftware engineering the mixed model for genome-wide association studies on large samples
Mixed models improve the ability to detect phenotype-genotype associations in the presence of population stratification and multiple levels of relatedness in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but for large data sets the resource consumption becomes impractical. At the same time, the sample size and number of markers used for GWAS is increasing dramatically, resulting in greater statistica...
متن کاملMethodological implementation of mixed linear models in multi-locus genome-wide association studies
The mixed linear model has been widely used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but its application to multi-locus GWAS analysis has not been explored and assessed. Here, we implemented a fast multi-locus random-SNP-effect EMMA (FASTmrEMMA) model for GWAS. The model is built on random single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects and a new algorithm. This algorithm whitens the covariance ...
متن کاملGAPIT Version 2: An Enhanced Integrated Tool for Genomic Association and Prediction.
Most human diseases and agriculturally important traits are complex. Dissecting their genetic architecture requires continued development of innovative and powerful statistical methods. Corresponding advances in computing tools are critical to efficiently use these statistical innovations and to enhance and accelerate biomedical and agricultural research and applications. The genome association...
متن کاملUnveiling the genetic loci for a panicle developmental trait using genome-wide association study in rice
Panicle size has a high correlation with grain yield in rice. There is a bottleneck to identify the additional quantitative trait loci (QTL) for panicle size due to the conventional traits used for QTL mapping. To identify more genetic loci for panicle size, a panicle developmental trait (LNTB, the length from panicle neck-knot to the first primary branch in the rachis) related to panicle size ...
