The homozygosity test after a change in population size.
نویسنده
چکیده
The homozygosity of a population will be influenced by any recent change in the population size. The "homozygosity test" of the neutral mutation hypothesis might also be influenced by a population change. A computer simulation method is described that establishes the significance levels of observed homozygosities after a change in population size. Some numerical examples are given.

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 کاملThe First Iranian Case of Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIC: Use of Homozygosity Mapping in a Consanguineous Pedigree
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC (MPSIIIC) is a rare subtype of mucopolysaccharidosis disorder family caused by mutations in heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT) gene. MPSIIIC is subdivided into four subtypes which have overlapping features, and are indistinguishable at clinical level. In populations with high consanguineous marriage rate, homozygosity mapping can be a good c...
متن کاملThe size distribution of homozygous segments in the human genome.
When we say that an individual is homozygous for a gene, we mean that both copies of the gene are identical in sequence. If one were to obtain DNA sequences flanking such a gene, one might imagine that the homozygosity would continue for some distance in either direction. Theoretically, the lengths of segments of homozygosity will depend, in a complicated way, on the mutation rate, the effectiv...
متن کاملA cross-population extended haplotype-based homozygosity score test to detect positive selection in genome-wide scans.
In this article, we developed a cross-population comparison test statistic to detect chromosome regions in which there is no significant excess homozygosity in one population but homozygosity remains high in the other. We treated an extended stretch of homozygosity as a surrogate indicator of a recent positive selection. Conditioned on existing linkage disequilibrium, we proposed to test the ha...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Test for Excess Homozygosity at Marker Loci on X Chromosome.
The assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is generally required for association analysis using case-control design on autosomes; otherwise, the size may be inflated. There has been an increasing interest of exploring the association between diseases and markers on X chromosome and the effect of the departure from HWE on association analysis on X chromosome. Note that there are two hypo...
