MIG is organising a workshop on Understanding the Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits through SNP-based heritability analysis. The workshop is planned for the December 11, 2018 in Melbourne, Australia.
This survey will help us to tailor the workshop to your needs. Participants should be proficient in statistics including maximum-likelihood estimation and hypothesis testing, preferably some familiarity with random-effects regression models and experience of computer-based data analysis. In genetics, knowledge of SNP genotyping and Hardy-Weinberg and linkage equilibria will be assumed. Computer scripts and output will be discussed that assume some familiarity with scientific computing using linux. Some familiarity with PLINK would be helpful but is not essential.
We will contact you once the EOI has closed to send you a link for registration. The survey closes on November 20.
The Computational Biology Research Initiative (CBRI) hallmark from University of Melbourne is proudly offering bursaries to cover 50% of the registration costs to 5 Research Higher Degree students and 5 staff researchers from University of Melbourne or affiliate institutions. Selection will be based on CBRI selection criteria.
Many thanks, Professor David Balding & Dr Doug Speed
