Chapter 11: Genome-Wide Association Studies
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have evolved over the last ten years into a powerful tool for investigating the genetic architecture of human disease. In this work, we review the key concepts underlying GWAS, including the architecture of common diseases, the structure of common human genetic variation, technologies for capturing genetic information, study designs, and the statistical me...
متن کاملChapter 11: Genome-wide protein structure prediction
The post-genomic era has witnessed an explosion of protein sequences in the public databases; but this has not been complemented by the availability of genome-wide structure and function information, due to the technical difficulties and labor expenses incurred by existing experimental techniques. The rapid advancements in computer-based protein structure prediction methods have enabled automat...
متن کاملGenome-wide Association Studies
Progress in probabilistic generative models has accelerated, developing richer models with neural architectures, implicit densities, and with scalable algorithms for their Bayesian inference. However, there has been limited progress in models that capture causal relationships, for example, how individual genetic factors cause major human diseases. In this work, we focus on two challenges in par...

متن کاملGenome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies are best understood as an extension of candidate gene association studies, scaled up to cover hundreds of thousands of markers across the genome in samples usually of several thousand cases and controls. The GWA approach allows the detection of much smaller effect sizes than with previous linkage-based genome-wide studies. However, this sensitivity makes th...
