Admixture as the basis for genetic mapping.
Genetic mapping in natural populations is increasing rapidly in feasibility and accessibility. As with many areas in genetics, advances in molecular techniques and statistics are drastically altering how we can investigate inheritance in wild organisms. For ecology and evolution, this is particularly significant and promising, because many of the organisms of interest are not amenable to conven...
متن کاملAdmixture Fine-Mapping in African Americans Implicates XAF1 as a Possible Sarcoidosis Risk Gene
Sarcoidosis is a complex, multi-organ granulomatous disease with a likely genetic component. West African ancestry confers a higher risk for sarcoidosis than European ancestry. Admixture mapping provides the most direct method to locate genes that underlie such ethnic variation in disease risk. We sought to identify genetic risk variants within four previously-identified ancestry-associated reg...
متن کاملWiki as a ckm tool in websites
The present research is conducted to show that organizations can use wiki to attract customers' purchase intention inside the e-commerce context. Considering the relation between wiki and ecommerce for CRM, this research tries to explore the characteristics such as perceived risk, customer experience, knowledge sharing culture, trust and knowledge sharing in wiki tool impact on purchase intenti...
متن کاملA genome-wide analysis of admixture in Uyghurs and a high-density admixture map for disease-gene discovery.
Following up on our previous study, we conducted a genome-wide analysis of admixture for two Uyghur population samples (HGDP-UG and PanAsia-UG), collected from the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang in China, respectively. Both HGDP-UG and PanAsia-UG showed a substantial admixture of East-Asian (EAS) and European (EUR) ancestries, with an empirical estimation of ancestry contribution of ...
متن کاملStatistical software for gene mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium
Admixture mapping is a statistical methodology that detects genetic variants in recently admixed populations that are responsible for ethnic differences in disease risk. Three software packages are now available for admixture mapping and we provide a brief overview of the statistical methods and other principal features they implement.
