Statistical methods in genetics
In recent years, a very large variety of statistical methodologies, at various levels of complexity, have been put forward to analyse genotype data and detect genetic variations that may be responsible for increasing the susceptibility to disease. This review provides a concise account of a number of selected statistical methods for population-based association mapping, from single-marker tests...
متن کاملStatistical methods in spatial genetics.
The joint analysis of spatial and genetic data is rapidly becoming the norm in population genetics. More and more studies explicitly describe and quantify the spatial organization of genetic variation and try to relate it to underlying ecological processes. As it has become increasingly difficult to keep abreast with the latest methodological developments, we review the statistical toolbox avai...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Statistical Genetics/Genomics Methodology
Recent developments in genomic technologies have provided researchers with an unprecedented ability to probe the genetic basis of complex biological processes as well as phenotypic expression. However, as impressive as these technologies are, the analysis and interpretation of the data they generate is exceptionally challenging due to the amount and sophistication of these data. In fact, it has...
متن کاملGenetics of the connectome
Connectome genetics attempts to discover how genetic factors affect brain connectivity. Here we review a variety of genetic analysis methods--such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), linkage and candidate gene studies--that have been fruitfully adapted to imaging data to implicate specific variants in the genome for brain-related traits. Studies that emphasized the genetic influences on ...
متن کاملBayesian Methods in Fisher’s Statistical Genetics World
Statistical genetics is a scientific discipline that covers any statistical analysis of genetic data. The interplay between statistics and genetics has a long history, dating back to the seminal work by Fisher almost a century ago to confirm the genetic theory of chromosomal inheritance (Piegorsch, 1990). Recent advancements in genotyping (i.e., collecting genetic data) technologies have produc...
