Rice And Mouse Quantitative Phenotype Prediction In Genome-Wide Association Studies With Support Vector Regression, Abdulrhman Fahad M. Aljouie Jan 2015

Rice And Mouse Quantitative Phenotype Prediction In Genome-Wide Association Studies With Support Vector Regression, Abdulrhman Fahad M. Aljouie

Theses

Quantitative phenotypes prediction from genotype data is significant for pathogenesis, crop yields, and immunity tests. The scientific community conducted many studies to find unobserved quantitative phenotype high predictive ability models. Early genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focused on genetic variants that are associated with disease or phenotype, however, these variants manly covers small portion of the whole genetic variance, and therefore, the effectiveness of predictions obtained using this information may possibly be circumscribed [ 1 ].

Instead, this study shows prediction ability from whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data of 1940 genotyped stoke mouse with - 12k SNPs, and 413 …


Phenotype Prediction And Feature Selection In Genome-Wide Association Studies, Andrew Roberts May 2012

Phenotype Prediction And Feature Selection In Genome-Wide Association Studies, Andrew Roberts

Theses

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) search for correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a subject genome and an observed phenotype. GWAS can be used to generate models for predicting phenotype based on genotype, as well as aiding in identification of specific genes affecting the biological mechanism underlying the phenotype.

In this investigation, phenotype prediction models are constructed from GWAS training data and are evaluated for performance on test data. Three methods are used to rank SNPs by their correlation with the phenotype: the univariate Wald test, a multivariate, support vector machine (SVM) based technique, and a hybrid method where …
