Many papers have noted the challenges associated with assigning function to non-coding genetic variation, and since the majority of GWAS hits for common traits are non-coding, resources for providing some mechanism for these associations are desperatel...
Thanks to the excellent work of Lucia Hindorff and colleagues at NHGRI, the GWAS catalog provides a great reference for the cumulative results of GWAS for various phenotypes. Anyone familiar with GWAS also likely knows about dbGaP – the NCBI ...
The ENCODE project continues to generate massive numbers of data points on how genes are regulated. This data will be of incredible use for understanding the role of genetic variation, both for altering low-level cellular phenotypes (like gene ...
In addition to the Introduction to Machine Learning class (which I have reviewed), I took a class on introduction to databases, taught by Prof. Jennifer Widom. This class consisted of video lectures, review questions, and exercises. Topics covered incl...
