Title:
A primer for Genetic Epidemiology

Abstract:
In high throughput genetic studies, we study a large number of genetic features in each individual. While the statistical modeling of each feature can be simplistic, the large number of them poses challenges when representing and interpreting the results. I will give some examples on this from an ongoing study on epigenetics analysis and in vitro fertilisation (IVF), where we investigated what effect IVF has on the children’s epigenome.
