Studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) offer insight into the molecular mechanisms of loci that were found to be associated with complex diseases and the mechanisms can be classified into cis- and trans-acting regulation. At present, high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is rapidly replacing expression microarrays to assess gene expression abundance. Unlike microarrays that only measure the total expression of each gene, RNA-seq also provides information on…

全基因组 DNA 匹配中的异常检测与错误发现率AI 解读

We define a statistic, called the matching statistic, for locating regions of the genome that exhibit excess similarity among cases when compared to controls. Such regions are reasonable candidates for harboring disease genes. We find the asymptotic distribution of the statistic while accounting for correlations among sampled individuals. We then use the Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) method for multiple hypothesis testing to find regions of excess…
