Background: Identifying true positive variants in genome-wide associations (GWA) depends on several factors, including the number of genotyped individuals. The limited dimensionality of genomic information may give insights into the optimal number of individuals to be used in GWA. This study investigated different discovery set sizes based on the number of largest eigenvalues explaining a certain proportion of variance in the genomic relationship matrix (G).

Genetic variation is the basis of selection, evolution and breeding. Maize landraces represent a rich source of allelic diversity, but their efficient utilization in breeding and research has been hampered by their heterogeneous and heterozygous nature and insufficient information about most accessions. While molecular inventories of germplasm repositories are growing steadily, linking these data to meaningful phenotypes for quantitative traits is challenging.

The objective of this study was to investigate the accuracy of genomic prediction of body weight and eating quality traits in a numerically small sheep population (Dorper sheep). Prediction was based on a large multi-breed/admixed reference population and using (a) 50k or 500k single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes, (b) imputed whole-genome sequencing data (~31 million), (c) selected SNPs from whole genome sequence data and (d) 50k SNP genotypes plus selected SNPs from whole-genome sequence data. Furthermore, the impact of using a breed-adjusted genomic relationship matrix on accuracy of genomic breeding value was assessed.

Qatari Genotype May Contribute to Complications in Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective: There is increasing evidence of a strong genetic component in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that may contribute to diabetes complications. Given the high prevalence of diabetes with its associated complications in the Middle East, we sought to determine if the genotype within a Middle East population may be contributory. Therefore, three genotype-based Qatari ancestral groups, Q1 Arab Bedouin, Q2 Asian/Persian, and Q3 sub-Saharan African, with a fourth admixed group were correlated with T2DM prevalence and its complications to determine if they differed between the 4 Qatari ancestries, particularly for the SLMAP allele-associated diabetic retinopathy.

We present the (PFBP) algorithm for (FS) for Big Data of high dimensionality. PFBP partitions the data matrix both in terms of rows as well as columns. By employing the concepts of -values of conditional independence tests and meta-analysis techniques, PFBP relies only on computations local to a partition while minimizing communication costs, thus massively parallelizing computations.
