Topic #2Introduction to Bioinformatic Databases University of Wisconsin Genetic Analysis Workshop June 2011
Goals • Use bioinformatic databases to: • Determine basic properties of genes • Identify common genetic variants in and around genes • Characterize genetic variants in terms of frequency and functionality
Possible Stages in Candidate-Gene Study Design Select a Candidate System (e.g., Dopaminergic) Select a Candidate Genes in System Select Genetic Variants in Candidate Genes Knowledge of the biology of the phenotype • Expert Opinion • Literature Search • Pathway Analysis • (Positional) • Literature Search • Bioinformatic Databases • SNP Tagging
Dopamine Candidate Genes ANKK1 COMT DRD1 DRD2 DRD3 DRD4 DRD5 SLC6A3 SLC18A2 TH But what about: DBH, MAO-A, MAO-B?
Pathway analysis • KEGGhttp://www.genome.jp/kegg/ • BioCartahttp://www.biocarta.com/ • Gene Ontology: http://www.geneontology.org/
UCSC Genome Browser(http://genome.ucsc.edu/) For a gene of interest (here COMT) • Determine basic properties: • Location • Size, #exons • Identify genetic variants • SNPs, in-dels, STRs • Optionally download these into a file
Genome Browser Gateway Search by Position Different builds Search by Gene
Transcript location Alternative Forms SNPs Default Colors: Red – NS-Coding Green – SynCoding Red – Splice Site Blue – UTR Black – Intron Black – Locus Black - Unknown
SNP Validation • Validated by multiple, independent submissions to the refSNP cluster • Validated by frequency or genotype data: minor alleles observed in at least two chromosomes • Validated by submitter confirmation • All alleles have been observed in at least two chromosomes apiece • Genotyped by HapMap project • SNP has been sequenced in 1000Genome project.

SNP: Geneview Where is rs4680?
Finding Genes in Region of SNP • Purcell et al. (2009) report that the strongest SNP effect in their GWAS is: rs3130297, which gives p = 4.79 x 10-8
Capturing cis-regulatory polymorphisms • Extend search in 5’ and 3’ directions. Arbitrary, but sometimes 5k in 5’ and 1k in 3’ • Use functional elements databases (FESD, http://sysbio.kribb.re.kr:8080/fesd/index.jsp)
Functional Element SNPs Database II(http://sysbio.kribb.re.kr:8080/fesd/index.jsp) • Promoter • CpG islands – in or near promoters, methylation sites • 5’-UTR – may affect mRNA stability, etc. • 3’-UTR – mRNA properties • Start/stop codons • Splice sites • Introns • Exons • Polyadenylation signal sites – protects mRNA at 3’ end
Conclusions • UCSC Browser and Entrez Gene • Characteristics of gene transcripts • Characteristics of genetic variation in gene transcripts • Selection of genetic variants for genotyping • Previous research • Functionality • Statistical properties – next LD and MAF
