Project description:The Ashkenazi Jewish population has long been considered a genetic isolate and presumed to have the genetic signatures of founder effects and isolation. We genotyped a large cohort of Ashkenazi Jews and analyzed their genetic structure compared to other worldwide populations.
Project description:The Ashkenazi Jewish population has long been considered a genetic isolate and presumed to have the genetic signatures of founder effects and isolation. We genotyped a large cohort of Ashkenazi Jews and analyzed their genetic structure compared to other worldwide populations. We genotyped 471 normal control Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with the Affymetrix 6.0 array and analyzed their genetic structure relative to other Europe and worldwide populations. We measured heterozygosity, linkage disequilibrium, identity-by-descent and used extended haplotype tests of positive selection.
Project description:GeneSeek HD Bovine 77k Genotyping array is used to estimate population structure and ancestry of bovine and evaluate loci responsible for complex traits. Further, copy number variation of bovine can be estimated by GeneSeek HD Bovine 77k Genotyping array. Here, we estimate population structure and ancestry of Qinchuan cattle.
