SUMMARY:The genetic analysis of population-scale data - Professor Gil McVe

DESCRIPTION:The availability of population-scale genomic data sets linked 
 to biomedical data is transforming many areas of research.  However\, the 
 statistical and computational challenges of organising\, analysing and int
 erpreting such information are substantial.  Using examples from humans an
 d their pathogens\, I will discuss how new approaches to the analysis of g
 enomic and phenotypic data can provide insight into processes ranging from
  the aetiology of autoimmune diseases to the origin and spread of drug res
 istance.
