THIS IS EXAM MATERIAL
 • Review: Estimating population genetic structures.pdf
 • Review: Data analysis methods.pdf

Home-exercise 3 was done during the session. During the session Wed 28.11 more background theory.

Data to be analysed:
 Tajima D calculator
 Human population HLA-gene data: Zulu.txt, Toroko.txt, Sioux.txt, South Indian.txt, Mexican.txt, Irish.txt, Filipino.txt, Zulu.txt, Czech.txt, Finn 90.txt, Turk.txt
 Bacteria data: USA_before_vacc.txt, USA_after_vacc.txt, Skand_before_vacc.txt, Skand_after_vacc.txt

NOT FOR EXAM  (This is 1cr in addition to the 4cr from the course, cf. this: More information here.pdf)
 Guidance to practical work in computer class.
 Data-analysis by the software Arlequin3.5, Manual
 Example data for training during the session, which is aloso part A for the assignment:
HLA_DRB1_freqtable.xlsx, HLA_DRB1_seqs.txt The script: convertToArlequin.R.txt, Completed data_file to Arlequin.txt, Script comments.txt
 This is geographical population data from one very polymorphic human gene (very many alleles, the sequences), collected from here 

  Arlequin assignment.pdf, Example 1.pdf, Example 2.pdf

Note added 3.12: I have now corrected the datafile which included mistakes in the data-collection step. The inputfile, which you should name again as .arp, instead of .txt, works fine.

Human Genetics and Biostatistics
 Heritability - Linkage studies - Association studies - Genotyping technologies - Quality control
 Statistics of association mapping (significance and power vs. priors and evidence)
 Examples of real studies - Recent topics in GWAS world (e.g. missing heritability, synthetic associations,...)
 Why do we think that certain phenotype has a genetic component?
 How does gene mapping work with family data and how does it work with population data?
 What kind of data modern genotyping technologies produce and how to analyse them?
 What have we learned during the last five years from genome-wide association studies?
 And what have we not learned so far?
