Tools of High Dimensional Data - Lecture 3

Explore tools for analyzing high-dimensional data in this lecture by Bruce Walsh, part of the "Theoretical and Empirical Approaches to Understand Polygenic Adaptation" program. Delve into methods for understanding phenotypic variation in terms of underlying genetic variation, a central problem in biological evolution. Learn about recent insights into the genetic architecture of polygenic traits, which influence characteristics ranging from crop yield and human height to complex diseases. Examine how to integrate different views of adaptive dynamics, from large changes at few genetic loci to infinitesimal changes at many loci, into a unified framework. Gain valuable knowledge on describing various adaptation scenarios quantitatively and relating them to empirical data. This lecture is part of a comprehensive program featuring pedagogical lectures, research seminars, and dedicated tutorial and discussion sessions, aimed at advancing understanding of polygenic adaptation.
