Medical and Population Genetics Primer November 21, 2024 Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Courtney Shearer Harvard Medical School Broad Institute Variant effect predictors: can we computationally predict variant effects so we can do fewer experiments? See Courtney's slides by clicking here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yd--... The Primer on Medical and Population Genetics is a series of informal weekly discussions of basic genetics topics that relate to human populations and diseases. Experts from across the Broad Institute community give in-depth introductions to the basic principles of complex trait genetics, including human genetic variation, genotyping, DNA sequencing methods, statistics, data analysis, and more. Videos of these sessions are made freely available for viewing here and are geared toward a wide audience that includes research technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and established investigators just entering the field.
