Course description:
This workshop will offer a series of lectures on the theoretical background of statistical genomics – with a focus on genome-wide-association studies (GWAS). Students will also present and discuss recent GWAS papers. This will be accompanied by practical hands-on exercises using the PLINK software. Herefore, please bring your laptop and install PLINK (https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/) before the course. More information on the exercises will be shared shortly before the course.
Content:
- History of GWAS
- Genetic variation
- QC of GWAS
- Imputation
- Statistical association analysis in GWAS
- Post-GWAS analyses
- Short overview on other common omics approaches
Learning outcomes:
This course provides an overview of basic statistical concepts of GWAS. After this course, you should be able to critically evaluate published GWAS papers and have a main idea of which steps are important to conduct a GWAS yourself.
