課程概述 |
This course will focus on introducing the statistical principles and methods underlying human population and medical genetics research. To understand how genetic variation affects human health and disease, we will cover quantitative topics including linkage disequilibrium, population structure and stratification, genetic association tests, statistical fine-mapping, heritability estimation, and advanced topics in genetic risk prediction and sequence data analysis. This course will involve analysis of real-world or simulated genetics datasets and students are required to participate in group projects of selected topics. |
課程目標 |
After this course, we expect the students to gain the following core knowledge and competencies:
1. Understand the definition and estimation of key genetic parameters underlying population and medical genetics
2. Understand the data types, study design, and the statistical and computational aspects of modern human genetics research
3. Apply statistical genetic methods to their own genetic data exploration, analysis, and interpretation in related to health
4. Describe the strengths and limitations of the potential use of genetic information in medicine and public health practices

課程要求 |
EPM7138 (Principle of Genetic Epidemiology), EPM7181 (Special topics in genomic studies), or the equivalent thereof.
Programming experience in R or Python. Familiarity with the UNIX/LINUX environment is preferred but not required.
