Abstract:

The power of QTL detection was studied both empirically and deterministically for several methods. TDT was more powerful than a linkage test, but less powerful than a pure association test. There were no great differences in power between TDTs. One of the TDTs was implemented in BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) to study the effect of a candidate gene, the melanocortin 4- receptor (MC4R), on growth, appetite and fatness in pigs. We found significant effects on growth and fatness but not on appetite. TDT uses within families genetic variation. A novel parameter to estimate gene effects usi

This continuing difficulty is responsible for an ever-increasing awareness of the phenomenon of linkage disequilibrium (LD). The principle behind LD is relatively simple. Over the lifetime of a population, the genetic markers that are adjacent to an ancestral mutation will recombine less often than more distant markers.

It is sensitive to a variety of locus-specific- and demographic factors, and can thus provide much insight into the micro-evolutionary factors that have shaped species of interest. It can also be exploited to identify the genomic regions determining complex traits of interest, which can then be applied as performance evaluation markers in marker-assisted selection (MAS).

Admixture studies based on contemporary DNA are well studied and results from these have shown to correlate well with other evidence. The study of using ancient DNA for determining admixture times is a less explored alternative for determining admixture.

This project investigates the use of ALDER on simulated ancient DNA to determine if it can be used in actual ancient DNA studies. The results from this project suggest that ALDER can be us

Evidence is accumulating that recombination events in humans are not randomly distributed, but clustered into hotspots 1-2 kb wide. The Xp/Yp pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) is a male-specific recombination hot domain. The PAR1 gene PPP2R3B shows unusually high levels of nucleotide diversity. I have used LD studies in this region to reveal a dearth of historical recombination, arguing against earlier speculation that high diversity is driven by mutagenic recombination.

<p>Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are those chromosome regions that contribute to variation of quantitative traits. Analysis of QTL is helpful for further study of molecular basis of the quantitative genetic variation. The discovery of highly abundant and dense polymorphic markers (e.g., single nucleotide polynorphisms, or SNPs) covering a whole genome provides an opportunity to localize QTL in a variety of populations. While classical linkage studies have a relatively limited resolution in QTL localization, the association mapping or linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping approach can offer an al

Abstract:

Within tightly linked regions of the genome it is often inefficient to genotype and test all polymorphisms for an association with disease since the high degree of linkage disequilibrium causes high levels of redundancy. It has long been suggested that an informative subset of these polymorphisms should be selected as markers for analysis. Within the approach of this thesis, a causal polymorphism takes on the role of a latent variable, generating indirect association between phenotype and marker loci which are in linkage disequilibrium with the causal variant.

The presence of subgroups within a population can result in spurious association.

As a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite markers are available, high resolution mapping employing multiple markers or multiple allele markers is an important step to identify quantitative trait locus (QTL) of complex human disease.

Much research has been done on conducting high resolution mapping using information of linkage and linkage disequilibrium.
