Twas-Ctl: A Robust And Efficient Method For Multi-Tissue Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies Using Cross-Tissue Learners, Md Mutasim Billah, Hairong Wei, Fengzhu Sun, Kui Zhang

Michigan Tech Publications

The advent of transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) has expanded the classical genome-wide association study (GWAS) framework by integrating gene expression with genetic variation to identify trait-associated variants. While multi-tissue TWAS approaches improve statistical power over single-tissue models, existing methods often lose information during result aggregation and require intensive computation. Here, we present TWAS-CTL (Cross-Tissue Learner), a novel framework that leverages heterogeneous gene expression across tissues by adaptively reweighting and optimizing multiple single-tissue learners. Simulations demonstrate that TWAS-CTL achieves higher statistical power than the leading method, UTMOST, while maintaining proper type I error control and reducing computational time by over half. …

Novel Origin Of Sperm Heteromorphism In The Drosophilidae, Karan Bhatt Dec 2025

Novel Origin Of Sperm Heteromorphism In The Drosophilidae, Karan Bhatt

Theses - ALL

Sperm heteromorphism, the production of two or more discrete sperm types or morphs within a single testis, occurs in diverse taxa. This phenomenon is believed to represent a division of labor by male gametes, with only one morph (the "eusperm") participating in fertilization and the other morph(s) specialized to perform some other (typically unknown) function within the female reproductive tract. One of the most intensively investigated systems is the Drosophila obscura species group, for which sperm heteromorphism evolved once in the common ancestor to the group, with all examined descendent species exhibiting sperm length heteromorphism. The absence of additional sperm …

On Detecting Change-Points Of A Segmented Logistic Regression Model, Jingwen Li

Dissertations - ALL

This dissertation investigates the problem of change-point detection in segmented logistic regression models, where the total number of change-points is unknown. We consider both unconstrained models, which allow discontinuities at change-points, and constrained models, which impose continuity across change-points. The central challenge is to determine the number of change-points and to accurately estimate their locations, while ensuring valid statistical inference for the associated regression coefficients. We begin by introducing a set of regularity assumptions that underlie the theoretical analysis throughout this work. For a given number of change-points, we present algorithms to estimate their locations and obtain the maximum likelihood …
