| Abstract | The use of recombinant inbred strains in mice is a powerful tool for understanding the genetics of complex diseases, such as alcohol tolerance. In 1981, McClearn and Kakihana introduced the Inbred Long Sleep (ILS) and Inbred Short Sleep (ISS) mouse strains that had been selectively bred from eight ancestor strains for their response to alcohol. The study provides a rare framework for computational analysis as the lineages of the two strains are well documented and six of the eight ancestor mouse strains have been sequenced. We have recently sequenced the complete genomes of the ILS and ISS strains to identify all single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where individual nucleotides in the ILS and ISS genomes differ from the reference mouse genome (mm10). Here, we leverage this data as well as fine-scale mouse recombination rates to infer the ancestral origin of each segment of the ILS and ISS genomes using a hidden Markov model (HMM). Our model is a fully connected set of seven states corresponding to each of the six sequenced ancestors and single state to capture the two unsequenced ancestors (the "unknown" state). Transitions between distinct states correspond to cross-over events during the breeding. Our transitions are further informed by incorporating fine-scale mouse recombination rates from Brunschwig et al. as priors to the likelihood of transitioning from one state to a different state (a recombination event) between any two observations. As recombination rates are per-base and region-specific, this has the added benefit of naturally incorporating the distance between SNPs into our transition probabilities as well. Each state emits an indicator variable, specifying whether the detected SNP is consistent with the specified ancestor. We note that inconsistencies can arise from sequencing errors and de novo mutations. We use an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm to determine the best parameters for our model. Furthermore we identify regions within the ILS and ISS genomes that are identical by descent (IBD). Sometimes large segments of the ancestor genomes are absolutely identical and indistinguishable. We sought to identify these regions within the HMM output, where a particular ancestor is chosen (by Viterbi) based on little to no informative positions. In these cases, there is no way to truly distinguish the ancestor of origin so we reclassify the segment as IBD. Our model outputs the inferred ancestor or IBD label for every segment of the ILS and ISS genomes. These regions were then verified by manual inspection using the Integrative Genome Viewer. Furthermore, we examined the consistency of called insertions, deletions, and structural variants between the ILS and ISS strain and the inferred ancestor within the region. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
