  • Question related to a study of rare variants

    I am working on a project to detect rare variants associated with a phenotype of intertest. However, I have about 200 cases and 50,000 controls samples with exome sequencing data. I am considering using the burden test to test for case enrichment of rare variants compared to controls. However, given the small sample size, I am not sure if I have enough power to detect rare variants. My question is how to calculate power? And is there a better study design that I should consider to detect rare variants associated with a phenotype given the sample sizes.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
