Association vs. linkage

Strong, easy to detect,but rare in population;may not be reflective ofcommon disease.Also, hard to collect familydata.

Common but weakeffects; need 1000’sof samples to detect.If no common cause,can fail.

Unrelatedindividuals

Relatedindividuals

Association vs. linkagesmallnumber ofgenerations;individualsshare bigchunks ofgenome;can get co-inheritancebetweendistantmarkers

manyrecombinationshave happenedsince commonancestor;shared regionis small; no co-inheritancebetweendistant markers

So you need very high densityof markers to get signal in anassociation study, but you getvery high spatial resolution.

Diagnosis via transcriptional profile Natural variation among “normals”

Two human chromosomes differ at ~1/1000 bases.

96% of these differences are not in protein-coding sequence.Why?

Two human chromosomes differ at ~1/1000 bases.

96% of these differences are not in protein-coding sequence.Most protein coding mutations are deleterious;appear but are culled by natural selection.

Can we map expression traitsfirst, disease afterward?
