Genome-Wide Association Studies - Introduction to Genomics Theory

Explore genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in this beginner-friendly 37-minute lecture from the Genomics Boot Camp series. Delve into the fundamental concepts of GWAS, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data and Manhattan plots. Learn about the applications of GWAS in research, multiple testing adjustments, false discovery rates, and correction for population structure. Gain insights into the challenges and considerations in GWAS analysis, such as false positive and false negative results. The lecture includes a summary of previous content, a general introduction to GWAS, and concludes with a comprehensive overview of the topic. Access the full video playlist and accompanying PowerPoint presentations for a deeper understanding of genomics theory.
