Whole exome sequence-based association analyses of plasma amyloid-β in African and European Americans; the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities-Neurocognitive Study.

PloS one | 2017

We performed single-variant and gene-based association analyses of plasma amyloid-β (aβ) concentrations using whole exome sequence from 1,414 African and European Americans. Our goal was to identify genes that influence plasma aβ42 concentrations and aβ42:aβ40 ratios in late middle age (mean = 59 years), old age (mean = 77 years), or change over time (mean = 18 years).

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


RefSeq (tool)

RRID:SCR_003496

Collection of curated, non-redundant genomic DNA, transcript RNA, and protein sequences produced by NCBI. Provides a reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis, expression studies, and comparative analyses. Accessed through the Nucleotide and Protein databases.

dbNSFP (tool)

RRID:SCR_005178

A database for functional prediction and annotation of all potential non-synonymous single-nucleotide variants (nsSNVs) in the human genome. Version 2.0 is based on the Gencode release 9 / Ensembl version 64 and includes a total of 87,347,043 nsSNVs and 2,270,742 essential splice site SNVs. It compiles prediction scores from six prediction algorithms (SIFT, Polyphen2, LRT, MutationTaster, MutationAssessor and FATHMM), three conservation scores (PhyloP, GERP++ and SiPhy) and other related information including allele frequencies observed in the 1000 Genomes Project phase 1 data and the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, various gene IDs from different databases, functional descriptions of genes, gene expression and gene interaction information, etc. Some dbNSFP contents (may not be up-to-date though) can also be accessed through variant tools, ANNOVAR, KGGSeq, UCSC Genome Browser''s Variant Annotation Integrator, Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor and HGMD.

Atlas2 (tool)

RRID:SCR_010756

A next-generation sequencing suite of variant analysis tools specializing in the separation of true SNPs and insertions and deletions (indels) from sequencing and mapping errors in WECS data.

ANNOVAR (tool)

RRID:SCR_012821

An efficient software tool to utilize update-to-date information to functionally annotate genetic variants detected from diverse genomes (including human genome hg18, hg19, as well as mouse, worm, fly, yeast and many others). Given a list of variants with chromosome, start position, end position, reference nucleotide and observed nucleotides, ANNOVAR can perform: 1. gene-based annotation. 2. region-based annotation. 3. filter-based annotation. 4. other functionalities.
