A Guide to Epigenetic Studies in Biomedicine: From Design to Data Analysis

1 credits · Graduate

Epigenetic epidemiological studies, which involve the analysis of epigenetic modifications across the epigenome, such as DNA methylation, have a broad application for biomedicine and environmental health. In this three-week mini-course, students will learn how to implement in their research epigenetic epidemiology approaches from conception to completion, including study design, sample collection and processing, DNA methylation generation, bioinformatics (quality control and statistical analysis). We will also incorporate lab workshops.
