for identifying potentially functional variants
• Combining
information from linkage and association
• Methods
for detecting imprinting/ X linked/ mitochondrial effects
• Data
cleaning and error checking
• Population
and evolutionary genetics/ LD patterns/ population stratification
• Methods
for genetic analysis of longitudinal data
• GWA
analysis of longitudinal data
• Methods
for family-based GWA analysis
Discussion pages have been created on the GAW wiki for each of these
groups so that participants may can exchange ideas and identify other
investigators working on similar problems. Participants may contribute
to as many online group wiki conversations as they wish. Our hope is
that the opportunity to discuss analyses while they are still in progress
will help group members to generate meaningful comparisons and contrasts
among the individual papers in each group and will lead to more focused
and productive group discussions and presentations at the workshop.
Additional group topics may be added to this list if a large number
of papers with a new theme are identified and groups may be eliminated
from this list if too few projects fall under a particular topic. Suggestions
for changes to the presentation group list will be accepted until June
10; the final list of available presentation group topics will be
frozen on June 24; and participants will be required to identify
their preferred presentation groups when they submit their written summaries
on July 29.
Participants
may continue to contribute to as many group discussions as they wish,
both online and at the workshop, but each paper will be assigned to
a primary presentation group for purposes of group discussion and summary
talks at the workshop. Each paper must be represented by at least one
co-author at the in-person meeting of the primary presentation group
at GAW16.
