Genotype Imputation and Transcriptional Profiling of Prostate Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IMPUTE2 (v. 2.3.2)64 was used to perform the genotype imputation of rs2853669 from three cohorts, TCGA, Stockholm, and Cambridge, composed of 389, 94, and 119 prostate samples, respectively. QCtool (v.2.0.7) (20 (link)) was used to assess and perform quality control by setting parameters “-threshold 0.9, -snp-stats”. SNPs that failed to pass the quality checking were excluded from imputation. 1000 Genomes Phase 3 data were selected as reference panel (18 (link)). Parameters were set as default “–Ne = 2000 and –k hap = 500”. A SNP-centered 2-MB region was set for the imputation on chromosome 5. Genotypes in the Gen format were converted to dosage format for downstream analysis. The transcriptional profiling was assessed by Illumina Expression Bead Chip in Swedish and Cambridge human prostate tissue samples, while RNA-seq was used in TCGA samples. The Stockholm and TCGA cohorts were genotyped on Illumina Omni 2.5 and Affymetrix SNP array 6, respectively.

Prostate Cancer eQTL Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We tested for eQTL associations between genotypes of rs11672691 and gene expression levels of CEACAM21 and PCAT19 using data from TCGA (Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network, 2015 (link); Cerami et al., 2012 (link)), Swedish and Wisconsin cohorts, which comprised of 389, 94, and 462 prostate samples, respectively. Association between genotype and gene expression was analyzed using the Matrix Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (Matrix eQTL) R package, parameters “useModel = modelLINEAR”, “errorCovariance = numeric ()” were used. We applied the principal-component analysis covariates for the TCGA cohort. R was used to perform the statistical tests and plot figures for the association between SNP genotypes and gene expression levels. The transcriptional profilings were assessed by Illumina Expression BeadChip in Swedish human prostate tissue samples, while RNA-seq in TCGA samples. The Stockholm and TCGA cohorts were genotyped on Illumina Omni 2.5 and Affymetrix SNP array 6, respectively.

Evaluating CNVR Probe Coverage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to evaluate the coverage by array probes for all CNVR sets, we used bedtools (v2.29.2) [67 (link)] intersect to determine all markers falling within a respective CNVR and then counted the number of markers, reporting zero for no intersection. For this we used array probe maps from several chip designs from [4 (link)]: Illumina’s OmniExpress, CytoSNP850, Omni25, Omni5 as well as Affymetrix SNP 6.0 and CytoScan HD

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
