Systems genetics approaches for understanding complex traits with relevance for human disease.

Quantitative traits are often complex because of the contribution of many loci, with further complexity added by environmental factors. In medical research, systems genetics is a powerful approach for the study of complex traits, as it integrates intermediate phenotypes, such as RNA, protein, and metabolite levels, to understand molecular and physiological phenotypes linking discrete DNA sequence variation to complex clinical and physiological traits. The primary purpose of this review is to describe some of the resources and tools of systems genetics in humans and rodent models, so that researchers in many areas of biology and medicine can make use of the data.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


PhenoGen Informatics (tool)

RRID:SCR_001613

Website for analyzing microarray data. Software toolbox for storing, analyzing and integrating microarray data and related genotype and phenotype data. The site is particularly suited for combining QTL and microarray data to search for candidate genes contributing to complex traits. In addition, the site allows, if desired by the investigators, sharing of the data. Investigators can conduct in-silico microarray experiments using their own and/or shared data. There are five major sections of the site: Genome/Transcriptome Data Browser, Microarray Analysis Tools, Gene List Analysis Tools, QTL Tools, and Downloads. The genome/transcriptome data browser combines a genome browser with all the microarray, RNA-Seq, and Genomic Sequencing data. This provides an effective platform to view all of this data side by side. Source code is available on GitHub.

Genotype-Tissue Expression (tool)

RRID:SCR_013042

Project to study human gene expression and regulation in multiple tissues, providing valuable insights into mechanisms of gene regulation and its disease related perturbations. Genetic variation between individuals will be examined for correlation with differences in gene expression level to identify regions of the genome that influence whether and how much a gene is expressed. Includes initiatives: Novel Statistical Methods for Human Gene Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) Analysis ,Laboratory, Data Analysis, and Coordinating Center (LDACC), caHUB Acquisition of Normal Tissues in Support of GTEx Project.

University of North Carolina Systems Genetics Core Facility (tool)

RRID:SCR_017240

Core focused on systems genetics approach to understanding diseases, development, aging, and fertility in mouse. Projects range from development of new community resources, such as Collaborative Cross, to development of tools and assays for measuring genetic diversity and discerning genomic structure. Collaborative Cross is reference population for mapping multigenic traits that would be free of population structure and it is new panel of recombinant inbred lines generated by randomizing genetic diversity of existing inbred mouse resources.
