|
what are the three main reasons for GWAS
|
advances in genotyping and sequencing technology
most diseases are probably controlled by many mutations linkage mapping is inadequate because you want to find specific alleles |
|
|
more recombination reduces correlations between DNA variants and leads to higher or lower resolution?
|
higher
|
|
|
why do you want to study non related relatives in GWAS?
|
because want most recombination possible
|
|
|
what are the main challenges of GWAS?
|
false positives
hidden populations epistasis environmental factors epigenetics |
|
|
what are the keys motivators for GWAS
|
drug targets
locate previously unsurveyed DNA variants through their correlations with those that are already surveyed |
|
|
T or F. heritabilites are population specific
|
true
|
|
|
what are the steps of association studies
|
ID sample in population
measure disease status and underlying risk factors genotype for SNPS test differences in trait among genotypic class resequence and further investigate |
