BroadE: Statistical Genetics - Plink and QC and Practical

Copyright Broad Institute, 2013. All rights reserved. BroadE: Statistical Genetics: Plink and QC and Practical - Verneri Anttila These presentations were filmed during the September 2013 Statistical Genetics Workshop, part of the BroadE Workshop series. This workshop provides an introduction to the basic principles of statistical genetic analysis. This course is targeted for individuals who are interested in learning the basics of genetic analysis. Specific areas of focus for the course include: study design considerations for genetic association tests, quality control (QC) procedures for genetic data, basic analysis of genome-wide association SNP data, and introduction to rare variant testing approaches. The workshop blended lectures introducing each of these topics and then hands-on practical application, in particular for QC and common variant analysis.

BroadE workshops (the 'E' stands for education) offer insights and share hands-on training in breakthrough technologies, high-throughput methods, and computational tools not typically found in conventional research labs. Through this ongoing series, which is open to Broad staff and to researchers at MIT, Harvard and Harvard-affiliated hospitals, the Broad community hopes to extend the impact of its science and openly share new methods.
