Longitudinal studies integrating imaging and genetic data have recently become widespread among bioinformatics researchers. Combining such heterogeneous data allows a better understanding of complex diseases origins and causes. Through a multi-view based workflow proposal, we show the common steps and tools used in imaging genetics analysis, interpolating genotyping, neuroimaging and transcriptomic data. We describe the advantages of existing methods to analyze heterogeneous datasets, using Parkinson’s Disease (PD) as a case study. Parkinson's disease is associated with both genetic and neuroimaging factors, however such imaging genetics associations are at an early investigation stage. Therefore it is desirable to have a free and open source workflow that integrates different analysis flows in order to recover potential genetic biomarkers in PD, as in other complex diseases.

Abstract
Longitudinal studies integrating imaging and genetic data have recently become widespread among bioinformatics researchers. Combining such heterogeneous data allows a better understanding of complex diseases origins and causes. Through a multi-view based workflow proposal, we show the common steps and tools used in imaging genetics analysis, interpolating genotyping, neuroimaging and transcriptomic data. We describe the advantages of existing methods to analyze heterogeneous datasets, using Parkinson’s Disease (PD) as a case study. Parkinson's disease is associated with both genetic and neuroimaging factors, however such imaging genetics associations are at an early investigation stage. Therefore it is desirable to have a free and open source workflow that integrates different analysis flows in order to recover potential genetic biomarkers in PD, as in other complex diseases.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
