As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

This includes both applied and methodological development in the incorporation of multiple datasets and types (both genetic and environmental) to decipher complex relationships. My work has involved research across many genetics and public health settings including large scale association and expression studies as well as more focused brain and mouse studies. My most recent work involves the use of extremely large datasets such as Whole Exome Sequencing. I look forward to continuing this work on an even larger scale by incorporating other data, such as the human microbiome and biomarkers.

The etiology of T2DM is rather complex, involving interactions between various genetic and environmental factors. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. Until today, there is no cure for T2DM. Functional studies aiming at the investigation of the disease’s underlying causes are primarily done in animal models, in particular in mouse models. While the clinical phenotypes of such models are usually well characterized, it is often not known how well they actually mimic the disease’s physiology on the molecular level. This gap of knowledge clearly complicates the replication of results among differ- ent models as well as the transfer of findings from animal models to human set- tings. The objective of this thesis was to assess the comparability of findings in mouse mod- els for diabetes research on the basis of results from large scale screening methods (›omics‹).

These large scale genomic data provide unprecedented opportunity for researchers to study and analyze the genetic factors of human complex traits. One of the major challenges in analyzing these high-throughput genomic data is requirements for effective and efficient compu- tational methodologies. In this thesis, I introduce several methodologies for analyzing these genomic data which facilitates our understanding of the genetic basis of complex human traits. First, I introduce a method for inferring biological networks from high- throughput data containing both genetic variation information and gene expression profiles from genetically distinct strains of an organism. For this problem, I use causal inference techniques to infer the presence or absence of causal relationships between yeast gene expressions in the framework of graphical causal models.

To develop disease-stratifying tools and modifying therapies, we need a better understanding of the molecular basis of the disease in relevant tissue and cell types. Here, we study primary cartilage and synovium from 115 patients with osteoarthritis to construct a deep molecular signature map of the disease. By integrating genetics with transcriptomics and proteomics, we discover molecular trait loci in each tissue type and omics level, identify likely effector genes for osteoarthritis-associated genetic signals and highlight high-value targets for drug development and repurposing. These findings provide insights into disease aetiopathology, and offer translational opportunities in response to the global clinical challenge of osteoarthritis. 1 Institute of Translational Genomics, Helmholtz Zentrum München – German Research Center for Environmental Health, Neuherberg, Germany. 2 Cancer Research Division, Cancer Council NSW, Sydney, NSW, Australia. 3 Wellcome Sanger Institute, Hinxton, United Kingdom. 4 School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia. 5 The Institute of Cancer Research, London, United Kingdom. 6 Department of Oncology and Metabolism, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Method—Following uniform quality control and imputation using the 1000 Genomes Project (phase 3) in 12 case-control cohorts comprising 3,495 anorexia nervosa cases and 10,982 controls, we performed standard association analysis followed by a meta-analysis across cohorts. Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) was used to calculate genome-wide common variant heritability [ , partitioned heritability, and genetic correlations (rg)] between anorexia nervosa and other phenotypes. Results—Results were obtained for 10,641,224 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion-deletion variants with minor allele frequency > 1% and imputation quality scores > 0.6. The of anorexia nervosa was 0.20 (SE=0.02), suggesting that a substantial fraction of the twin-based heritability arises from common genetic variation.

Associate Editor: Alison Hutchins Received on XXXXX; revised on XXXXX; accepted on XXXXX Abstract Motivation: Very low depth sequencing has been proposed as a cost-effective approach to capture low-frequency and rare variation in complex trait association studies. However, a full characterisation of the genotype quality and association power for very low depth sequencing designs is still lacking. Results: We perform cohort-wide whole genome sequencing (WGS) at low depth in 1,239 individuals (990 at 1x depth and 249 at 4x depth) from an isolated population, and establish a robust pipeline for calling and imputing very low depth WGS genotypes from standard bioinformatics tools.
