In this article, we tested optimal SNP filtering strategies for accurate parentage assignment and pedigree reconstruction for a wild population of red‐spotted masu salmon, Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae. We found that mid‐point filtering in terms of call rate and minor allele frequency performs well for pedigree reconstruction.

Allelic variants of KLK2 gene predict presence of prostate cancer at biopsy [PDF]
Objective: Several single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with prostate cancer risk have been reported in recent years. We evaluated polymorphisms in the human glandular kallikrein 2 (KLK2) genes because the protein product of this gene is known to ...

Bipartite Community Structure of eQTLs [PDF]
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and eQTL analyses have produced a large and growing number of genetic associations linked to a wide range of human phenotypes. As of 2013, there were more than 11,000 SNPs associated with a trait as reported in the NHGRI GWAS Catalog.

Assessing the Reproducibility of Machine-learning-based Biomarker Discovery in Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) help identify genetic variations in people with diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), which are less common in those without the disease. Thus, GWAS data can be used to identify genetic variations associated with the disease.

In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

High-Density Genotypes of Inbred Mouse Strains: Improved Power and Precision of Association Mapping. [PDF]
Human genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of loci associated with disease phenotypes. Genome-wide association studies also have become feasible using rodent models and these have some important advantages over human studies ...

Integrating sequencing datasets to form highly confident SNP and indel genotype calls for a whole human genome [PDF]
Clinical adoption of human genome sequencing requires methods with known accuracy of genotype calls at millions or billions of positions across a genome. Previous work showing discordance amongst sequencing methods and algorithms has made clear the need for a highly accurate set of genotypes across a whole genome that could be used as a benchmark.

Hidden Markov models for the assessment of chromosomal alterations using high-throughput SNP arrays [PDF]
Chromosomal DNA is characterized by variation between individuals at the level of entire chromosomes (e.g., aneuploidy in which the chromosome copy number is altered), segmental changes (including insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations), and changes to small genomic regions (including single nucleotide polymorphisms).

Tumor‐informed whole‐genome sequencing (MRD‐EDGESNV) was applied to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with colorectal adenomas. Using a 95% specificity threshold, established from stage III colorectal cancer patients, ctDNA was detected in 50% of symptomatic and 25% of asymptomatic adenoma cases with median tumor fractions of 5.9 × 10−5 ...

SNiPlay: a web-based tool for detection, management and analysis of SNP (C900) [PDF]
The rapidly increasing amount of re-sequencing and genotyping data generated by large-scale genetic diversity projects requires the development of integrated bioinformatics tools able to efficiently manage, analyze, and combine genetic data with the ...
