If for some strange reason you logged onto the website after about 5:45pm last Wednesday, you will have noticed that I posted the last two sets of lecture notes – on genome-wide association mapping and on genomic prediction. I didn’t say this in the notes, but what I’m presenting is a very high level overview. People who know GWAS and genomic prediction could easily teach an entire course on them. We’ll just cover enough in this course so that you have a sense of how to read and interpret papers that use GWAS or genomic prediction and a sense of the things you have to be careful about in interpreting and applying the results.
