Detecting natural selection in genomic data.
The past fifty years have seen the development and application of numerous statistical methods to identify genomic regions that appear to be shaped by natural selection. These methods have been used to investigate the macro- and microevolution of a broad range of organisms, including humans. Here, we provide a comprehensive outline of these methods, explaining their conceptual motivations and s...
متن کاملPowerful methods for detecting introgressed regions from population genomic data.
Understanding the types and functions of genes that are able to cross species boundaries-and those that are not-is an important step in understanding the forces maintaining species as largely independent lineages across the remainder of the genome. With large next-generation sequencing data sets we are now able to ask whether introgression has occurred across the genome, and multiple methods ha...
متن کاملStatistical Learning Methods for High Dimensional Genomic Data Statistical Learning Methods for High Dimensional Genomic Data Title: Statistical Learning Methods for High Dimensional Genomic Data
Due to their high-dimensionality, -omics technologies require the development of computational methods that are able to work with large number of variables. Each data type is characterized by its method of measurement and by the biological aspect under study. Understanding the data properties allows the design of sophisticated and effective computational models that are able to uncover and expl...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis Methods for the fMRI Data
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur in active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts of br...
