Presentation Transcript

  1. Statistical Applications in Biology and Genetics Tian Zheng Wednesday, March 12, 2003

  2. Outline • Biological Background • Overview of quantitative research area related to genetics • Sample project I: Bayesian Regression Analysis with application to Microarray studies • Sample project II: BHTA algorithm for complex traits

  3. Chromosomes and genes • Video from the Human Genome Project • You can also find links to background readings at : http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~tzheng/research/statgen.html • Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of DNA double-helix structure.

  4. Biology: Science of 21st century Everybody talks about it!

  5. Computational Biology (1) • Sequence to function • Sequence alignment using wet-lab results • Model aligned sequences • Predict function to sequence with unknown function using model fitted • Sequence to structure of proteins • Significance: sequence  structure  function

  6. Computational Biology (2) • Motif detection • Homology detection

  7. Bioinformatics/Genomics • Gene expression analysis (using DNA chips or Microarray) • Protein regulatory network inference • Pedigree inference • Phylogeny inference

  8. Genetic Epidemiology • Linkage mapping • Association mapping • Mapping for complex traits: quantitative traits, epistasis etc.

  9. Linkage and Association • Gene, alleles; • Haplotype • Transmission • Cross-over and recombination • Linkage

  10. Sample Project: Bayesian Regression Analysis • Mike West et al (2000) Bayesian Regression Analysis in the “large p, small n” Paradigm with application in DNA Microarray studies.

  11. What is a Microarray/DNA chip How Chips Work?

  12. Oligonucleotide Arrays Current “Golden Standard”!

  13. Affymetrix GeneChip System

  14. An Affymetrix GeneChip

  15. Gene Expression Data • n experiments (patients, types of cell lines, types of cancer tissues, etc) • p genes on one array • Subtracted and normalized gene expression data is a n by p matrix
