H3ABioNet 2018 Genotyping Chip Data Analysis and GWAS lecture series - Lecture 4
Quality control and its importance in GWAS
Date: 29 August 2018 @ 15:00 - 16:30
Timezone: Central African Time (CAT)
Quality control and its importance in GWAS
In the fourth of a series of seven H3ABioNet online lectures for Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), the importance of doing good quality control for a GWAS will be discussed. The lecture will cover the types of errors one should control for, the specific bioinformatics tools used for quality control. Specific sample and SNP quality control steps that should be undertaken in a GWAS will be explored using specific examples.
