Background: Head-to-head comparison of BeadChip and WGS/WES genotyping techniques for their precision is far from straightforward. A tool for validation of high-throughput genotyping calls such as Sanger sequencing is neither scalable nor practical for large-scale DNA processing. Here we report a cross-validation analysis of genotyping calls obtained via Illumina GSA BeadChip and WGS (Illumina HiSeq X Ten) techniques.
Results: When compared to each other, the average precision and accuracy of BeadChip and WGS genotyping techniques exceeded 0.991 and 0.997, respectively. The average fraction of discordant variants for both platforms was found to be 0.639%. A sliding window approach was utilized to explore genomic regions not exceeding 500 bp encompassing a maximal amount of discordant variants for further validation by Sanger sequencing. Notably, 12 variants out of 26 located within eight identified regions were consistently discordant in related calls made by WGS and BeadChip. When Sanger sequenced, a total of 16 of these genotypes were successfully resolved, indicating that a precision of WGS and BeadChip genotyping for this genotype subset was at 0.81 and 0.5, respectively, with accuracy values of 0.87 and 0.61.
Conclusions: We conclude that WGS genotype calling exhibits higher overall precision within the selected variety of discordantly genotyped variants, though the amount of validated variants remained insufficient.

Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are polygenic, with many genetic variants contributing to disease risk. Knowing the genotype of specific variants or calculating a combined genetic risk score benefits translational and functional research. To address this, we developed MIP4IBD, a flexible and cost-effective genotyping-by-sequencing assay using molecular inversion probes (MIPs).

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find genetic factors that contribute to myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) in people with severe myopia through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,783 highly myopic individuals, including 608 with mMNV and 2,175 controls, using advanced genetic analysis techniques.
- The study discovered a new genetic variant, rs56257842, associated with a lower risk of mMNV, and found that certain transcription factors interacted differently with this variant, suggesting it plays a significant role in the disease's development.

The successful application of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) to the identification of unidentified human remains and perpetrators of serious crime has led to a growing interest in its use internationally, including Australia. Routinely, FIGG has relied on the generation of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles from forensic samples using whole genome array (WGA) (∼650,000 or more SNPs) or whole genome sequencing (WGS) (millions of SNPs) for DNA segment-based comparisons in commercially available genealogy databases. To date, this approach has required DNA of a quality and quantity that is often not compatible with forensic samples.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using advanced models like BayesR and GBLUP with genetic relationship matrices to find the most effective method for multi-breed genomic selection in three beef cattle breeds.
- Results showed that BayesR generally provided higher prediction accuracy compared to GBLUP, particularly when using whole-genome sequencing data, with notable improvements in predicting breeding values in the evaluated cattle breeds.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the lack of research on skin-related genetic traits in underrepresented populations, specifically focusing on the Vietnamese population.
- Researchers developed a computational method to analyze genetic factors affecting 25 skin traits using both public and local Vietnamese genetic data.
- Findings showed that Vietnamese skin genetics are closely related to East Asian cohorts, revealing co-occurring traits like skin aging and collagen issues, contributing to a broader understanding of genetic diversity in skin health.
