Next generation analytic tools for large scale genetic epidemiology studies of complex diseases.
Over the past several years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have succeeded in identifying hundreds of genetic markers associated with common diseases. However, most of these markers confer relatively small increments of risk and explain only a small proportion of familial clustering. To identify obstacles to future progress in genetic epidemiology research and provide recommendations to...
متن کاملStrategies for Genetic Studies of Complex Diseases
In light of this, it is likely that GWAS hits found in intergenic regions far from known genes are true associations whose biology is not yet understood, rather than false positives. The human genome is incompletely annotated. Regions where GWAS associations have been found, but no known genes are located, could easily harbor unidentified new genes or regulatory elements. For instance, the auth...
متن کاملDeveloping the "next generation" of genetic association databases for complex diseases.
Tens of thousands of genetic association studies investigating the influence of common polymorphisms on disease susceptibility have been published to date. These include ∼1,000 genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This vast amount of data in the field of complex genetics is becoming increasingly difficult to follow and interpret. It can be expected that the situation will become even more co...
متن کاملGraphics Tools for the Generation of Large Scale Urban Scenes
The acquisition of 3D city and landscape models has been a topic of major interest within the photogrammetric community and a number of algorithms became available both for the automatic and semiautomatic data collection. Usually, these 3D models are used for visualisation in order to generate realistic scenes and animations e.g. for planning and navigation purposes. Such real-time visualisatio...
متن کاملBlobSeer: Next-generation data management for large scale infrastructures
As data volumes increase at a high speed in more and more application fields of science, engineering, information services, etc., the challenges posed by data-intensive computing gain an increasing importance. The emergence of highly scalable infrastructures, e.g. for cloud computing and for petascale computing and beyond introduces additional issues for which scalable data management becomes a...
