This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Genetic Outlier Analysis’. 

These workshops took place on:

• 4 - 5 July 2024: In person in Sydney 

Event description

There are many interesting patterns that you can extract from genetic variant data. This can include patterns of linkage, balancing selection, or even inbreeding signals. One of the most common approaches is to find sites on the genome that are under selection. 

This workshop introduces the basics of genetic selection analysis. It will step you through the process of identifying signals of selection using your own data (or an example genomic dataset) using the outlier analysis method.
