Unbiased population heterozygosity estimates from genome‐wide sequence data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Heterozygosity is a metric of genetic variability frequently used to inform the management of threatened taxa. Estimating observed and expected heterozygosities from genome‐wide sequence data has become increasingly common, and these estimates are often ...

Genome-wide analysis of insomnia disorder [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2018
Insomnia is a worldwide problem with substantial deleterious health effects. Twin studies have shown a heritable basis for various sleep-related traits, including insomnia, but robust genetic risk variants have just recently begun to be identified. We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of soldiers in the Army Study To Assess Risk and ...

Genome-wide associate study identifies five new schizophrenia loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839 independent ...

Genetic risk factors for ischaemic stroke and its subtypes (the METASTROKE Collaboration): a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
<p>Background - Various genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been done in ischaemic stroke, identifying a few loci associated with the disease, but sample sizes have been 3500 cases or less.

INFERRING GENOME-WIDE MOSAIC STRUCTURE [PDF]

open access: yesBiocomputing 2009, 2008
Genetic recombination plays two essential biological roles. It ensures the fidelity of the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next and it generates new combinations of genetic variants. Therefore, recombination is a critical process in shaping arrangement of polymorphisms within populations.

Simultaneous Analysis of All SNPs in Genome-Wide and Re-Sequencing Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Testing one SNP at a time does not fully realise the potential of genome-wide association studies to identify multiple causal variants, which is a plausible scenario for many complex diseases.

Genome-wide scanning versus candidate gene approach in the genetic architecture of common diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the Nature 7 June issue, researchers from the Welcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) reported the findings of a large genome-wide association (GWA) study of 14,000 cases of common diseases and 3000 controls studies revealing the role of several

Genome-wide Association Studies

open access: yes, 2013
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful hypothesis-free tool for the dissection of susceptibility to common heritable human diseases, including osteoporosis. To date, more than 2000 loci for common human diseases have been identified by GWAS.

Genome-Wide Association Studies in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Atherosclerosis Reports, 2011
Cardiovascular disease remains the major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality. Its pathophysiology is complex and multifactorial. Because the phenotype of cardiovascular disease often shows a marked heritable pattern, it is likely that genetic factors play an important role.

Targeting 160 candidate genes for blood pressure regulation with a genome-wide genotyping array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The outcome of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has challenged the field of blood pressure (BP) genetics as previous candidate genes have not been among the top loci in these scans.
