Project Summary The aim of this proposal is to hold an annual, full-week course in advanced gene mapping at The Rockefeller University in New York. The course is directed towards advanced researchers who are familiar with the fundamental aspects of statistical genetics but who need to become more proficient in the analysis of complex traits. Thirty-four students will be accepted to each course, and stipends, to cover travel costs, will be provided to ten participants who are either pre-doctoral students or post-doctoral fellows. The course consists of two components: lectures on important current topics in gene mapping, as well as hands-on exercises to be performed with the latest freeware software programs using cloud computing. The current emphasis of the course is analyses of sequence and other omics data. The next Advanced Gene Mapping course will be held January 27-31, 2020. The PI and five additional instructors who are experts in their respective fields will teach on a variety of topics that include: data quality control; qualitative and quantitative trait (population and family-based data) association analysis of whole-genome data (genotype, sequence, and imputed); controlling for population admixture and substructure; meta-analysis; sample size estimation and power calculations; detecting gene x gene interactions; analysis of epigenomic and RNAseq data; elucidating pleiotropy; functional prediction and variant annotation; estimation of polygenic risk scores; Mendelian randomization and mediation analysis; and fine mapping. A variety of freely available software including ANNOVAR, GCTA-MLMA, PAINTOR, LDpred, PrediXCan, R, SEQSpark, and VAT will be implemented to perform practical exercises. Since gene mapping is a quickly changing field, the topics and analytic programs will be updated annually to reflect the latest developments in the field of statistical genetics. Given the vast amounts of generated genetic data, it is essential to train researchers and give them the necessary information and tools for data analysis to elucidate the etiology of complex traits.

项目概要 该提案的目的是在 The Institute 举办一年一度、为期一周的高级基因图谱课程。 纽约洛克菲勒大学。该课程针对熟悉以下内容的高级研究人员 具备统计遗传学的基本知识，但需要更加精通分析 的复杂特征。每门课程将录取三十四名学生，并提供津贴以支付旅行费用， 将提供给十名博士前学生或博士后研究员。课程 由两部分组成：关于基因图谱当前重要主题的讲座以及实践 使用云计算使用最新的免费软件程序进行练习。目前的 该课程的重点是序列和其他组学数据的分析。下一个高级基因图谱 课程将于 2020 年 1 月 27 日至 31 日举行。PI 和另外五位讲师都是各自领域的专家 各个领域将教授各种主题，包括：数据质量控制；定性和定量 全基因组数据（基因型、序列、 并估算）；控制人口混合和子结构；荟萃分析；样本量估计 和功率计算；检测基因x基因相互作用；表观基因组和 RNAseq 数据分析； 阐明多效性；功能预测和变异注释；多基因风险评分的估计； 孟德尔随机化和中介分析；和精细映射。各种免费软件 包括 ANNOVAR、GCTA-MLMA、PAINTOR、LDpred、PrediXCan、R、SEQSpark 和 VAT 实施以进行实际练习。由于基因图谱是一个快速变化的领域，因此主题和 分析程序将每年更新，以反映统计领域的最新发展 遗传学。鉴于生成的大量遗传数据，培训研究人员并给予研究人员至关重要 它们为数据分析提供了必要的信息和工具，以阐明复杂性状的病因。
