presentation
posted on 11.09.2018, 08:55 by Ananyo ChoudhuryThe fifth of a series of seven H3ABioNet online lectures for Genome Wide
Association Studies (GWAS) will introduce the concept of population
structure/stratification (PS) and suggest why it is critical to consider
PS in a GWAS. The lecture will begin by familiarizing the types of PS
that are encountered and explain the factors that could cause them to
appear in a GWAS dataset. It will then cover the methods that are
commonly used to identify PS in a dataset and finally discuss the
available computational approaches to correct for PS in a GWAS.
