Study Notes
Genomic Studies and Human Disease
- Haplotypes are compiled from adjacent SNPs inherited together
- Haplotypes are used to trace migration routes based on unique tag SNPs
- Haplogroups are groups of people sharing similar SNPs on chromosomes
- The 1000 Genomes Project aims to refine the HapMap catalog and identify gene variants associated with disease susceptibility
- The UK's 100,000 Genomes Project focuses on rare diseases, some common cancers, and infectious diseases
- Personal genomics involves deducing an individual's entire genetic code through SNP analysis or genome sequencing
- Genetic variation underlies adaptive changes in evolution and can also cause disease
- Genome-wide association studies aim to find connections between heritable phenotypes and whole-genome genotypes
- GWAS involves scanning markers across genomes to find genetic variations associated with specific diseases
- SNPs are used to track predisposition to disease by analyzing whole-genome samples for genetic variations
- GWAS methodology includes collecting phenotypic information, extracting DNA, genotyping, and analyzing results
- Genome-wide association studies utilize genotyping chips to analyze genetic variations influencing quantitative traits in populations
