2006 journal article

A population-based latent variable approach for association mapping of quantitative trait loci

ANNALS OF HUMAN GENETICS, 70, 506–523.

By: T. Wang*, B. Weir n & Z. Zeng n

author keywords: association mapping; maximum likelihood; haplotype; latent variable; EM algorithm
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Chromosome Mapping; Computer Simulation; Genetics, Population / methods; Humans; Likelihood Functions; Linkage Disequilibrium / genetics; Models, Genetic; Quantitative Trait Loci; Statistics as Topic
TL;DR: Under a general likelihood framework, an EM‐based algorithm is developed to estimate genetic effects of the QTL and haplotype frequencies of theQTL and markers jointly and provides a joint test for association between a quantitative trait and marker genotypes without requiring adjustment for the multiple testing.

By: B. Weir n & C. Basten n

TL;DR: An aim of this paper is to show that there is also a role for readers of this journal in the design of surveys of DNA sequences, and to center on the use of sequence data in evolutionary studies, where some region of DNA is sequenced in several different species. (via Semantic Scholar)

THE VARIANCE OF SAMPLE HETEROZYGOSITY

THEORETICAL POPULATION BIOLOGY, 37(1), 235–253.

By: B. Weir n, J. Reynolds n & K. Dodds n

MeSH headings : Alleles; Chromosome Mapping; Gene Frequency / genetics; Gene Pool; Genetic Variation / genetics; Genetics, Population; Heterozygote; Humans; Models, Genetic; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR: The variance of sample heterozygosity, averaged over several loci, is studied in a variety of situations and methods for estimating the variance are discussed, with attention being paid to unbalanced data where not all loci are scored in all individuals. (via Semantic Scholar)

EFFECT OF MATING STRUCTURE ON VARIATION IN INBREEDING

THEORETICAL POPULATION BIOLOGY, 18(3), 396–429.

By: B. Weir n, P. Avery n & W. Hill n

TL;DR: An analysis is made of the variation among individuals in finite populations of the proportion of their genes which are identical by descent, and the coefficient of variation in mean heterozygosity over the genome is related to that in nonidentity. (via Semantic Scholar)

INFERENCES ABOUT LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM

BIOMETRICS, 35(1), 235–254.

By: B. Weir*

TL;DR: General use of Burrows' composite measure of linkage disequilibrium, whether or not random union of gametes is an appropriate assumption, is recommended and attention is given to small samples, where the non-normality of gene frequencies will have greatest effect on methods of inference based on normal theory.

BEHAVIOR OF PAIRS OF LOCI IN FINITE MONOECIOUS POPULATIONS

THEORETICAL POPULATION BIOLOGY, 6(3), 323–354.

By: B. Weir n & C. Cockerham n

MeSH headings : Genetics, Population; Mathematics; Models, Biological
TL;DR: Transition equations are established for descent measures for pairs of loci in finite randomly mating monoecious populations, and three quadrigenic moments are evaluated, including the variance of the linkage disequilibrium. (via Semantic Scholar)
