SuSTaIn EdgeCutter One Day Workshop on

Hidden Complexities in Complex Traits and Genome-wide Association

Royal Statistical Society, London, UK
19th October 2015

Overview

Genetics promises to help us understand the underlying evolutionary structure of complex traits and so give insight into the heritable component of many important diseases.

However, scientific advances have remained incremental which suggests that current methodology is limited. Improved statistical methods and modelling will be key to making the most of existing data and preparing for the next generation of data.

This workshop aims to bring together experts on the methodology underpinning the analysis of complex traits and their relationship to genetics and biological function. The focus will be at the cutting edge of the statistical analysis of complex traits data, its associated practical interpretation and the benefits to society at large.

This workshop is organised by Dan Lawson, Mark Beaumont and Nic Timpson.
