A Novel Three-Stage Framework for Association Analysis Between SNPs and Brain Regions

Frontiers in Genetics

Abstract

Motivation: At present, a number of correlation analysis methods between SNPs and ROIs have been devised to explore the pathogenic mechanism of Alzheimer's disease. However, some of the deficiencies inherent in these methods, including lack of statistical efficacy and biological meaning. This study aims at addressing issues: insufficient correlation by previous methods (relative high regression error) and the lack of biological meaning in association analysis. Results: In this paper, a novel three-stage SNPs and ROIs correlation analysis framework is proposed. Firstly, clustering algorithm is applied to remove the potential linkage unbalanced structure of two SNPs. Then, the group sparse model is used to introduce prior information such as gene structure and linkage unbalanced structure to select feature SNPs. After the above steps, each SNP has a weight vector corresponding to each ROI, and the importance of SNPs can be judged according to the weights in the feature vector, and then the feature SNPs can be selected. Finally, for the selected feature SNPS, a support vector machine regression model is used to implement the prediction of the ROIs phenotype values. The experimental results under multiple performance measures show ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
