The course will cover statistical background for association studies; primer on scripting in the most frequently used computational environments, design and analysis of such studies, interpretation of the results.
On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Undertake quality control, imputation and analysis of genome-wide data using standard statistical approaches and software tools
- Complete meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and analysis of rare variants
- Evaluate critically the results of association analysis and visualise them
