چکیده

Structural rearrangements, including copy-number alterations and inversions, are increasingly recognized as an important contributor to human genetic variation. Copy number variants are readily measured via array-based techniques like comparative genomic hybridization, but copy-neutral variants such as inversion polymorphisms remain difficult to identify without whole genome sequencing. We introduce a method to identify inversion polymorphisms and estimate their frequency in a population using readily available single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Our method uses a probabilistic model to describe a population as a mixture of forward and inverted chromosomes and identifies putative inversions by characteristic differences in haplotype frequencies around inversion breakpoints. On simulated data, our method accurately predicts inversions with frequencies as low as 25% in the population and reliably estimates inversion frequencies over a wide range. On the human HapMap Phase 2 data, we predict between 88 and 142 inversion polymorphisms with frequency ranging from 20 to 81 percent. Many of these correspond to known inversions or have other evidence supporting them, and the predicted inversion frequencies largely agree with the limited information presently available.

Estimation of kinematic source parameters and frequency independent shear wave quality factor around Bushehr

In this paper, the shear wave quality factor and source parameters in the near field are estimated by analyzing the acceleration data in Zagros region. Accelerograms recorded by Building and Houses Research Center strong ground motion network have been used. The data have been considered with the magnitude of 4.7 to 6.3 collected from 1999 to 2014. In this approach, the theoretical S-wave displ...

Three-stage inversion improvement for forest height estimation using dual-PolInSAR data

This paper addresses an algorithm for forest height estimation using single frequency single baseline dual polarization radar interferometry data. The proposed method is based on a physical two layer volume over ground model and is represented using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry (PolInSAR) technique. The presented algorithm provides the opportunity to take advantages of t...

Association of P53 (+16ins-Arg) Haplotype with the Increased Susceptibility to Breast Cancer in Iranian-Azeri Women

Background:Many case-control investigations have showed the correlation of TP53 gene polymorphisms with the risk of breast cancer. However, the findings are not consistent. It has been suggested that the investigation of P53 genotype combinations and haplotypes may be more helpful than the detection of single polymorphisms. In the present study, we investigate...

Haplotype Effect of Two Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Polymorphisms of rs1736933 and rs2735022 on the Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Background: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is a multifactorial disease that affects 1-3% of couples. Since Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) gene is involved in fetal maternal immune tolerance, mutations in the HLA-G gene can affect the success rate of pregnancy. Objective: The present study aims to investigate the haplotype effect of rs1736933 and rs2735022 polymorphisms found in the HLA-G ge...

Identification of Gas Accumulation Adjacent to the Gas Hydrate Bearing Zone by Inversion Utilizing AVO Attribute

The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...
