We wrapped up the Functional Genomics Workshop yesterday. Students learned about diagnostic markers and eQTL and completed GWAS, TWAS, and Mendelian Randomization exercises with Dr. Jason Zurn. Thanks to Dr. Evgenii Liakh for the technical support in the computer labs. @eakhunov

At the Functional Genomics Workshop, the focus has shifted to data-analysis with hands-on computer labs. Students learned how to conduct RNA-seq data analysis, detect introgression break points, and query practical haplotype graphs with Eduard Akhunov. @eakhunov
