Genome- and epigenome-wide association studies identify susceptibility of CpG sites and regions for metabolic syndrome in a Korean population

Clinical Epigenetics
Background While multiple studies have investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related traits (fasting glucose, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference) and DNA methylation, our understanding of ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies in Glioma [PDF]

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2018
Abstract Since the first reports in 2009, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying germline variants associated with glioma susceptibility. In this review, we describe a chronological history of glioma GWAS, culminating in the most recent study comprising 12,496 cases and 18,190 controls. We additionally

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Candidate Genes for Litter Size Traits in Pelibuey Sheep

Animals, 2020
The Pelibuey sheep has adaptability to climatic variations, resistance to parasites, and good maternal ability, whereas some ewes present multiple births, which increases the litter size in farm sheep.

Generalized associative algebras [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We study diverse parametrized versions of the operad of associative algebra, where the parameter are taken in an associative semigroup $\Omega$ (generalization of matching or family associative algebras) or in its cartesian square (two-parameters associative algebras).

Genome-wide association studies and the genetics of entrepreneurship [PDF]

European Journal of Epidemiology, 2010
Entrepreneurship is a vital element of well-functioning economies. It is sometimes denoted as their ‘scarcest input factor’. Entrepreneurs introduce innovations into the economic system and may contribute towards higher productivity levels and hence economic growth [1, 2, 3].

A genome-wide association study on meat consumption in a Japanese population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort study

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2021
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the dietary habits of the Japanese population have shown that an effect rs671 allele was inversely associated with fish consumption, whereas it was directly associated with coffee consumption.

On Combining Data From Genome-Wide Association Studies to Discover Disease-Associated SNPs [PDF]

Statistical Science 2009, Vol. 24, No. 4, 547-560, 2010
Combining data from several case-control genome-wide association (GWA) studies can yield greater efficiency for detecting associations of disease with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) than separate analyses of the component studies. We compared several procedures to combine GWA study data both in terms of the power to detect a disease-associated ...

Characterization of Insect Resistance Loci in the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection Using Genome-Wide Association Studies

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Management of insects that cause economic damage to yields of soybean mainly rely on insecticide applications. Sources of resistance in soybean plant introductions (PIs) to different insect pests have been reported, and some of these sources, like for ...
