Project Description
  • Whole genome association scans involve genotypes on genetic markers spanning the human genome in large numbers of individuals with and without a disease, with the aim of identifying genetic variants responsible for increasing disease risk. The Wellcome Trust Case Consortium data consist of 500,000 genotypes per individual on 19,000 individuals, with associated quality scores and other relevant information.
