Joel Bader Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering Johns Hopkins University Connecting GWAS SNPs to causal genes by integrating information across loci Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been powerful in identifying genetic variants, usually single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), associated with biomedical traits. These SNPs (or other correlated SNPs in the region) usually affect the regulation or function … Continue reading "PQG Seminar"
