Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Association Studies Community
Affymetrix is committed to creating educational resources for the genetic community and facilitating the sharing of best practices and workflows. If you would like to contribute or learn more about additional topics for association studies, please email your suggestions and ideas to marcus_hausch@affymetrix.com.
Best Practices Data Analysis Workshop
On May 19, 2009 in Chicago, Affymetrix held its Best Practices in Genome-Wide Association Studies Data Analysis Workshop. At this event, experts in the field participated in panel discussions and seminars focusing on best practices and data analysis workflows for genome-wide association studies.
For your convenience, we've posted selected presentations from the workshop. We will update this page as new material becomes available, so please check back frequently.
