Detecting Major Genetic Loci Controlling Phenotypic Variability in Experimental Crosses
Traditional methods for detecting genes that affect complex diseases in humans or animal models, milk production in livestock, or other traits of interest, have asked whether variation in genotype produces a change in that trait's average value. But focusing on differences in the mean ignores differences in variability about that mean. The robustness, or uniformity, of an individual's character...
متن کاملStatistical methods for detecting differentially methylated loci and regions
DNA methylation, the reversible addition of methyl groups at CpG dinucleotides, represents an important regulatory layer associated with gene expression. Changed methylation status has been noted across diverse pathological states, including cancer. The rapid development and uptake of microarrays and large scale DNA sequencing has prompted an explosion of data analytic methods for processing an...
متن کاملStatistical Methods for Detecting Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL)
Treating mRNA transcript abundances as quantitative traits and mapping gene expression quantitative trait loci for these traits has been studied in many species from yeast to humans. There has been significant success in finding associations between gene expression and genetic markers. These eQTL studies have been used to identify candidate causal regulators, to construct gene regulation networ...
متن کاملPower for detecting genetic divergence: differences between statistical methods and marker loci.
Information on statistical power is critical when planning investigations and evaluating empirical data, but actual power estimates are rarely presented in population genetic studies. We used computer simulations to assess and evaluate power when testing for genetic differentiation at multiple loci through combining test statistics or P values obtained by four different statistical approaches, ...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci analysis for the genetic variability and paternal lineages in Iranian native dogs
Genetic variation among the individuals is considered as an important tool for conservation of livestock animals. This study was conducted to analyze the genetic variation, phylogenetic relationship and paternal lineages among Iranian dog populations using seventeen autosomal and Y chromosome-specific microsatellite markers. Total DNAs of the samples were extracted and applied for genotype anal...
