Linking SNPs with genes in GWAS

Luke O'Connor
Schmidt Fellow
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Luke O'Connor is a Schmidt Fellow at the Broad Institute. His focus is on developing statistical approaches to understand the genetics of common disease. His work integrates data from multiple phenotypes, from common and rare genetic variants, and from diverse populations.

Dan Weiner
MD/PhD candidate
Harvard Medical School

Dan Weiner is an MD/PhD candidate at Harvard Medical School, and has just defended his Ph.D.. He is studying the convergence of common and rare genetic variation co advised by Luke O'Connor and Elise Robinson.

The Primer on Medical and Population Genetics is a series of informal weekly discussions of basic genetics topics that relate to human populations and disease. Experts from across the Broad Institute community give in-depth introductions to the basic principles of complex trait genetics, including human genetic variation, genotyping, DNA sequencing methods, statistics, data analysis, and more.

Videos of these sessions are made freely available for viewing here and are geared toward a wide audience that includes research technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and established investigators just entering the field.
