==General Information==
An Advanced Gene Mapping course will be held in online from Monday through Friday, January 2725-3129, 20202021. The cost of the 5-day course is $100 for student, academic, and government researchers and $1,500 for researchers working in industry. This fee covers tuition and course-related expenses (cloud computing, etc.).
The course emphasis is on analyzing sequence and other omics data to elucidate the genetic etiology of complex human disease traits. Topics will include: data quality control of sequence and other types of data; single variant and aggregate rare variant association analysis of whole-genome data (genotype, sequence, and imputed) for qualitative and quantitative traits (population and family-based data); controlling for population admixture and substructure; generalized linear mix models and linear mixed models; meta-analysis; sample size estimation and power calculations; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; analysis of epigenomic data, e.g methylation, and chromatin; heritability estimation using variant and RNA-Seq data; analysis of RNA-Seq data; eQTL mapping; elucidating pleiotropy; functional prediction and variant annotation; estimation of polygenic risk scores; Mendelian randomization; mediation analysis; and fine mapping.''' '''As mandated by the NIH there will also be a special session on responsible conduct of research that will include sessions on conflict of interest, research ethics, data management (security), and ethical use of human research subjects.
==Course Instructors==
The instructors for the course are: Heather Cordell (University of Newcastle), Nancy Cox (Vanderbilt University), Andrew DeWan (Yale University), Suzanne Leal (The Rockefeller University & Columbia University), [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~biophys/Shamil_Sunyaev.htm Shamil Sunyaev] (Harvard University) & Gao Wang (Columbia University). A special guest lecture will be given by Jurg Ott (Rockefeller University).
==More Additional Information==
The maximum number of participants for this online course is 25.
