Statistical methods in genetics
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, a very large variety of statistical methodologies, at various levels of complexity, have been put forward to analyse genotype data and detect genetic variations that may be responsible for increasing the susceptibility to disease. This review provides a concise account of a number of selected statistical methods for population-based association mapping, from single-marker tests of association to multi-marker data mining techniques for gene-gene interaction detection.

A simulation study of permutation, bootstrap, and gene dropping for assessing statistical significance in the case of unequal relatedness.
We used simulations to evaluate methods for assessing statistical significance in association studies. When the statistical model appropriately accounted for relatedness among individuals, unrestricted permutation tests and a few other simulation-based methods effectively controlled type I error rates; otherwise, only gene dropping controlled type I error but at the expense of statistical power.
متن کاملStatistical methods for evolutionary trees.
In 1963 and 1964, L. L. Cavalli-Sforza and A. W. F. Edwards introduced novel methods for computing evolutionary trees from genetical data, initially for human populations from blood-group gene frequencies. The most important development was their introduction of statistical methods of estimation applied to stochastic models of evolution.
متن کاملStatistical genetics of an annual plant, Impatiens capensis. I. Genetic basis of quantitative variation.
Analysis of quantitative genetics in natural populations has been hindered by computational and methodological problems in statistical analysis. We developed and validated a jackknife procedure to test for existence of broad sense heritabilities and dominance or maternal effects influencing quantitative characters in Impatiens capensis. Early life cycle characters showed evidence of dominance a...
متن کاملThe contribution of statistical physics to evolutionary biology.
Evolutionary biology shares many concepts with statistical physics: both deal with populations, whether of molecules or organisms, and both seek to simplify evolution in very many dimensions. Often, methodologies have undergone parallel and independent development, as with stochastic methods in population genetics. Here, we discuss aspects of population genetics that have embraced methods from ...
متن کاملImpact of the Polymorphism of the PACRG and CD80 Genes on the Development of the Different Stages of Tuberculosis Infection
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most significant health-care problems worldwide. The host’s genetics play an important role in the development of TB in humans. The disease progresses through several stages, each of which can be under the control of different genes. The precise genes influencing the different stages of the disease are not yet identified. The aim of the current study ...
متن کاملStatistical methods for microarray assays.
The paper shortly reviews statistical methods used in the area of DNA microarray studies. All stages of the experiment are taken into account: planning, data collection, data preprocessing, analysis and validation. Among the methods of data analysis, the algorithms for estimating differential expression, multivariate approaches, clustering methods, as well as classification and discrimination a...
