Discusses current topics in genetic epidemiology methods. Builds on the knowledge gained in Principles of Genetic Epidemiology 1-3 and provides an opportunity for students to drive the discussion and understand the details of the methods they have learned, as well as gain exposure to specialized topics still evolving in genetic epidemiology and genomics.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Evaluate the various approaches to gene-gene and gene-environment interaction, and enrichment analyses such as gene set analysis and pathway analysis
- Conduct enrichment analyses such as gene set analysis
- Develop and utilize analytical techniques suitable for trans-ethnic and admixed population samples
- Discuss and determine epigenetics
- Conduct analysis of sequence data
- Communicate the nuances of ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genetic and genomics studies
- Incorporate novel genetic technologies in various study designs
Methods of Assessment
This course is evaluated as follows:
- 50% Group Presentation
- 20% Participation
