QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH AND RIGOR IN GENETICS

GENETICS 807
Course Description

Combines review of key statistical concepts needed for genetics research with discussions of contemporary debates and common pitfalls in the application of quantitative methods specific to genetics research. Use statistical software to explore and apply statistics to genetic inference, with an emphasis on computationally intensive methods, including group coding exercises and case studies of genetics problems. Engage with contemporary ideas around study design, transparency, rigor and reproducibility in genetics research.
