The Primer on Medical and Population Genetics is a series of informal weekly lectures on basic genetics topics that relate to human populations and disease. Experts from across the Medical and Population Genetics community at the Broad Institute give in-depth introductions to the basic principles of human genetics, including genetic variation, genomic methods, statistics, data analysis, genomic interpretation, tool tutorials and more.
Videos of these sessions are made freely available for viewing here and are geared toward a wide audience that includes research technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and established investigators just entering the field. Videos are also available for streaming at the Broad's YouTube channel.
If you'd like more information about the primers or have suggestions for future topics, contact seminar series organizers Sarah Morton and Diane Genereux.
