Terminologies• False negative: the declaration of an outcome as statistically
non-significant, when the effect is actually genuine.
• False positive: the declaration of an outcome as statistically significant, when there is no true effect.
• Linkage: refers to coinheritance of different loci within a genetic distance on the chromosome.
• Linkage equilibrium: LE is a random association of alleles at different loci and equals the product of allele frequencies within haplotypes.
4
• Linkage disequilibrium: LD is a non-random association of alleles at different loci, describing the condition with non-equal frequency of haplotypes in a population.
• Minor allele Frequency(MAF):The frequency of the less common alleles of a polymorphic locus. Its value lies between 0 to 0.5,and can be vary between populations.
• Odd ratio: Measurement of association that is commonly used in case control studies. Defined as odd of exposure to the susceptible genetic variant in case compared with that in controls. If OR significantly greater than 1,then the genetic variant is associated with a disease.
5
Mapping
• Mapping methods
Linkage mapping: measures recombination between markers and the unknown gene (linkage)
• Association mapping: measure correlation between marker alleles and allele in a population (linkage disequilibrium)
• It is the representation of information using special relationships
6
Difference
Bi-parental mapping Association mapping• No cross required, works
with existing germplasm.• Phenotypic data can be
already available.• High resolution.• More than 2 alleles are
tested.• Many loci for a single trait
are concurrently analyzed.• Comparatively low.
• Experimental cross required.
• Phenotypes to be collected.
• Limited mapping resolution.• Essentially 2 alleles are tested
• Constraints to segregating loci between parental lines.• High detection power

Genome wide association studies (GWAS)
• Aim to identify which regions (or SNPs) in the genome are associated with disease or certain phenotype.
• Design:– Identify population structure– Select case subjects (those with disease)– Select control subjects (healthy)– Genotype a million SNPs for each subject– Determine which SNP is associated.• Encoded data• Ranking SNPs
Linkage vs AssociationLinkage
1. Family-based
2. Matching/ethnicity generally unimportant
3. Few markers for genome coverage (300-400 STRs)
4. Can be weak design
5. Good for initial detection; poor for fine-mapping
6. Powerful for rare variants
Association
1. Families or unrelateds
2. Matching/ethnicity crucial
3. Many markers req for genome coverage (105 – 106 SNPs)
4. Powerful design
5. Poor for initial detection; good for fine-mapping
6. Powerful for common variants; rare variants generally impossible

History of GWAS
• Successful study published in 2005,with investigating patients age related molecular degeneration.
• Prior to GWAS in 2000 Inheritance studies of linkage families.
• HapMap2003

Building Haplotype Maps for Gene-finding
1. Human Genome Project Good for consensus, not good for individual differences
2. Identify genetic variants Anonymous with respect to traits.
3. Assay genetic variants Verify polymorphisms, catalogue correlations amongst sites Anonymous with respect to traits

Hap Map• Multi-country effort to identify, catalog common human
genetic variants.
• Developed to better understand and catalogue LD patterns across the genome in several populations.
• Genotyped ~4 million SNPs on samples of African, east Asian, European ancestry.
• All genotype data in a publicly available data base.
• Can download the genotype data
– Able to examine LD patterns across genome
– Can estimate approximate coverage of a given SNP chip
• Can represent 80-90% of common SNPs with
~300,000 tag SNPs for European or Asian samples~500,000 tag SNPs for African samples

Joint analysis
16
Multistage Designs
• Joint analysis has more power than replication.
• p-value in Stage 1 must be liberal.
• CaTs power calculator.
• Here signals from an initial, First-stage GWAare used to define a subset of SNPsthat are retyped in additional second stage samples.
• Lower cost—do not gain power.

Analysis of GWAS
• Most common approach: look at each SNP one-at-a-time.• Possibly add in multi-marker information.• Further investigate / report top SNPs only. Or backwards replication…Most commonly trend test.• Log additive model, logistic regression.• Adjust for potential population stratification.
Basics for GWASCalculate the odd ratio• If 2 events are considered• odds of A and B isOR = Odds(A)/Odds(B) = (A)/(~A) / (B)/(~B) • Symmetry in odds ratioOR = Odds(D|G=1)/Odds(D|G=0) = = Odds(G|D=1)/Odds(G|D=0).
18
• Significance?
Chi- square test.
Rank SNP by P-value. (Statistical test of association )• Search for SNPs that deviate from the independence
assumption.• Rank SNPs by p-values

Linkage disequilibrium
21
Concept of LD
22(Abdurakhmonov and Abdukarimov, 2008)
Software used for calculation of LD
23
• “Graphical overview of linkage disequilibrium” (GOLD) to depict the structure and pattern of LD.
• “Trait Analysis by aSSociation, Evolution and Linkage” (TASSEL) and PowerMarker
24
LD in animals
25
LD in plant system
• Maize- (Zea mays spp mays )Studies conducted to investigate LD over a wide range of population and marker type.
26
Factors affecting LDThe factors, which lead to an increase in LD, include
• Inbreeding, • Small population size, • Genetic isolation between lineages, • Population subdivision,• Low recombination rate, • Population admixture, • Natural and artificial selection, • Balancing selection, etc.
The factors, which lead to a decrease/disruption in LD, include
• Outcrossing, • High recombination rate, • High mutation rate, etc.
Use of GWAS in plant systemsBasic biology• Understand the makeup of molecular pathways.• Dissect the genetic component of molecular variation.• Genotype environmental interaction.Breeding• Mining of markers causal for phenotype. • to assist in breeding decisions.• Maximization of yield, pathogen resistance etc.

Preprocessing
29
Genotype• Imputing of missing value.• Hidden Mankov models and related approaches. Beagle,IMPUTE• In GWAS based on full sequencing data some alleles may be rare or even private.
Phenotype• Most parametric models are based on Gaussian assumptions.• Phenotypic residues are often non Gaussian.• Phenotypic transformation on suitable scale.• Use of prior knowledge.• eg.Growth rate , generation doubling time etc.• Variance stabiliztion.
Challenges we are going to address while conducting GWAS
30
Multiple hypothesis testing• In GWAS the number of statistical tests is commonly is on the
order of 10⁶.• At significance level of 0.01we would expect 10,000 false
positive. Thus individual p-value <0.01are not significant anymore.
• Correction of multiple hypothesis testing is critical.
Population structure• Confounding structure leads to false positive.
Statistical power and resolution• Small samples, large number of hypothesis.• Increased power• Testing compound hypothesis.
Model checkingQ-Q plots
31
• Compare the Quartiles of the empirical test statistic distribution to
assume null distribution.• Sort test statistic.• Plot test statistic against (Y-axis) quartile of the theoretical null
distribution.• If the plot is close to diagonal the distribution makeup.• Deviation from the diagonal indicates inflation or deflation of
test statistics.• Repair the plot with HW equilibrium.

• Why in Arabidopsis?
• Hermophodite.so large existence of spp.• Behaves as naturally existing inbred population• LD is more extensive.• False positive rates strongly differed between the traits.
38
• They considered 4 phenotypes for which the major loci were known.
• Vernalization response locus-FRI.
• 3 pathogen resistant loci-Rpm1,Rps2,Rps5.

• Biparental and QTL approaches are not scalable to investigate genetic potential of 12000 accessions.
• GWAS simultaneously screened large number of genetic accessions.
• Genotype once and sequence repeatedly.
• Took Global collection of 413 accessions of sativa.
• Collected from 82 countries and designed 440000 oligonucleotides.
Results• Correlation analysis between different phenotypes.• Correlation ranged from -0.41 to 0.9(seed width and length).

• Smut (Sphacelotheca reiliana) study using Illumina maize SNP 50 array.
• 45868 SNPs in the panel of 144 inbred lines.• Classified candidate genes as resistant genes, disease
response genes and other genes. Outcome• 50K SNP offers highest array.• Chromosomal region and specific SNP that affect resistance
level in commercial build up population.• Assessed the extent of LD in target population.• Identified genes or QTLs that significantly affect smut
resistance.• Characterized those genes based on known function and co-
location.

Research in other plants• Barley• Lettuce• Tomato• Sorghum• Wheat• Foxtail millet
Advantages
55
• Biological pathway of the trait does not have to be known.
• Discovering novel candidate genes.
• Encourages collaborative consortia.
• Rules out specific genetic association.
• Provides more robust data.
• Identifies the mutations explaining few percent of phenotypic variant.
Limitations
56
• Results need replication in independent samples in different population.
• A large study of population is required, detects association not causation.
• Identifies specific location not complete gene.
• Focus on common variants and many associated variants are not causal.
• Detect any variant(>5%) in a population.
• Cost of each DNA sample and pooling them.
• Unavailability of funding agencies.
• Not predictive and explains less heritability.
Will GWAS results explain more heritability?
57
58
Candidate gene• Hypothesis-driven• Low-cost: small genotyping
requirements• Multiple-testing less
important– Possible many misses,
fewer false positives
Current association study challenges
Still why GWAS is popular?
59
• The dropping genotyping costs. It involves whole genome.
• Resequencing of all the individuals in a population, large structure variation such as copy number variation.
• Eg.Resequencing of Arabidopsis lyrata.
• In future this will help in RNA-seq data to include in e-QTL mapping in GWAS studies.
• Population choice will no longer restricted to model organisms will slowly become more focused on the spp which are more relevant in answering biological questions.
• The accuracy depends on 1 time genotyping and repeated phenotyping.
Output of GWAS
60
• All phenotype and genotype data should to be made public and be deposited in public databases.
• As such file format and minimum information standards should to be established.
• Priority to storage and dissemination of phenotypic and genotypic data.
