Outline • What is expression • Platforms • ChIP on Chip • Gene expression • Exon arrays • Tiling arrays • SNP chips • Applied S/W for Expression "Library" -- OTDB • Alternative Splicing • Association Study Example -- AMD • How to analyze • Applied S/W -- UIMaDS • Genotype - Phenotype Correlations
Ocular Tissue Expression Database Survey of 10 ocular tissues GOAL: catalog which genes are expressed across tissues of specific interest in ocular In collaboration with Abe Clark at Alcon
Alternative Splicing in the Eye GOAL: To identify the splicing variants expressed in retina, retinal pigment epithelia, and optic nerve head. (3x biological replicates) Motivation: To guide/focus screening efforts to those exons that are expressed. In collaboration with Rob Mullins
AMD Association Study GOAL: Identify the major susceptibility regions for age-related macular degeneration. Several regions have been reported • How may susceptibility regions are there? Genotyping 400 AMD patients and controls with high-density SNP chips 400,000,000 genotypes
Association populations Unaffected Affected allele frequencies A1 A2 A1 A2 SNP 1 0.74 0.26 0.75 0.25 SNP 2 0.70 0.30 0.10 0.90 Power increases with more samples, and more SNPs
How to analyze the data? First step is acquiring the data! Normalization Analysis
Analysis Differential Expression t-test ANOVA Fold-change Time series (all of the above) Correlation of expression Early response vs. late response
Analysis DAVID Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/ • Look for conservation of a particular function or annotation in the set of differentially expressed genes. GSEA Gene Set Enrichment Analysis http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/software/software_index.html • Look for annotations that are differentially expressed (as a group). Ex. Tour de France
UIMaDS - Overview UIMaDS: a software system to provide large-scale gene expression experiment data management and analysis Commercial solutions exist, but the ability to customize analyses allows us to identify and implement to most desirable functionality for our needs. Growing Statistical Pipeline • ANOVA, t-test, GSEA, probe masking
Analysis (part 2) Association Identifying a pattern of occurrence between two independent variables. Ex. AMD and Complement Factor H
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations Correlation to a clinically defined phenotype, or to an experimentally identified phenotype. • Expression • Alternative splicing • Computationally identified phenotype
Collaborative Phenotype Database (CPDB) Purpose: Manage phenotypic information, both textual and image-based Facilitates the integration of phenotypic and molecular data Can help in identifying and managing phenotypic data e.g. cuticular drusen
Podbielniak - the solution • Slide transport is a solved problem • Taking pictures also a solved problem
CPDB Pilot Study Genome-wide Association Study for AMD • 400 AMD, 400 controls • fundus photos of retinas (10,000’s images) • patient clinical and demographic information • 500K SNP chip genotyping
