This 5-day introductory course aims to give an overview of the field of Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS). During the first half of the course we focus on the biological knowledge required to understand GWAS as well as the design of GWAS studies and basic skills required to perform GWAS. In the second half of the course you will perform a GWAS as well as post-GWAS analyses to help you understand the field as a whole. GWAS is a skill one can only master by practice, which is why we give you ample opportunity to practice what we have taught you and learn the skills needed to perform your own GWAS.
