Basics of Genetics

Considering that the data that you will be working on is genetic data, getting the basic concepts of genetics will be important.

We suggest the

• Khan Academy provides general information on classical genetics and allele frequencies.

• One of our personal favourites for primers on genomics on the National Human Genome Research Institute (USA).

• An excellent overview of genomics and the analytics of genomics found here: Analytic and Translational Genetics by Karczewski and Martin (2020) Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science

For more in-depth information we also highly recommend Matti Pirinen's GWAS course materials.
