Presentation Transcript


  1. Outline to SNP bioinformatics lecture • Brief introduction • SNPs in cell biology • SNP discovery • SNP assessment • SNP databases • SNPs in genome browsers

  2. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms • Must be present in at least 1% of the population • Most (90%) of the sequence variation between two genomes • Two humans differ 0.1% • 1/300 bp in the human genome • Lower in coding regions • 10 million in the human genome

  3. Categories of SNPs • Missense/Non-synonymous • Changes an amino acid • About half of the SNPs in coding sequence • Can alter function and or structure of the protein • Cause of most monogenetic diseases • Hemochromatosis (HFE) • Cystic fibrosis (CFTR) • Hemophilia (F8) • Nonsense • Introduces a stop codon • Same consequences as non-synonymous

  4. Categories of SNPs • Synonymous • Does not alter the coding sequence • May alter splicing • Non-coding • Can be located in promoter or regulatory regions • Can impact the expression of the gene • All SNPs can be used as markers

  5. Use to cell biologist • Association studies • Use SNPs as markers to find regions associated with phenotype • Causative SNPs • Altered protein • Altered expression • Regions of altered conservation between strains/species/individuals • Evolutionary analyses • Etc…

  6. SNP discovery • Discovery of SNPs usually from sequencing • Discovery is based on separating sequencing errors from ’real’ differences and assessing the frequency in the sequenced population • Separation of parologous sequences • Validation, genotyping

  7. SNP discovery resources • Polybayes • SNP discovery in redundant sequences • Polyphred • SNP discovery based on phred/phrap/consed • NovoSNP • Graphical identification of SNPs

  8. Example: PolyPhred • Detects heterozygotes from chromatograms • Runs together with phred/phrap/consed • Command line

  9. SNP assessment • Assess SNPs for functional effects • Non-synonymous SNPs • Conservation across species • Amino acid properties • Protein structure • Transmembrane regions, signal peptides etc.

  10. SNP assessment resources • SIFT • PolyPhen • Pmut • SNPs3D • PANTHER PSEC • TopoSNP • MAPP • Etc

  11. Example: SIFT • Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant • Builds an alignment of similar sequences • Calculates a score based on the aa in the alignment • Takes the environment into account • Takes the properties of the aa into account • Does not use structure

  12. SNP databases • Maps of SNPs in human, mouse, etc • Haplotype maps • Functional SNPs • Disease databases

  13. SNP databases • dbSNP • F-SNP • HGVBase • PolyDoms • OMIN • Etc…

  14. Example: dbSNP • 50 million submissions • 18 million clusters • 7 million in genes • 44 organisms • 91 million SNPs submitted

  15. dbSNP • Search for SNPs, location, etc • Information submitted on method, flanking sequence, alleles, population, sample size, validation etc • Information computed on SNPs at same location including functional analysis, population diversity etc

  16. SNPs in genome browsers • Ensembl • UCSC

  17. Example: UCSC

  18. HapMap • Aim: a haplotype map of the human genome describing common patterns of sequence variation • A haplotype map is based on alleles of SNPs close together are inherited together • HapMap will identify which SNPs are informative in mapping, reducing the number of SNPs to genotype by a magnitude • Populations from Asia, Europe and Africa • 2nd generation map with over 3.1 million SNPs
