چکیده
The objective of this article is to introduce a multidisciplinary biostatistics course program, targeting professionals and academics involved in researching genetics and genomics. The program is designed to adapt statistical concepts, uses and language to this field, which is at the forefront of knowledge. The idea underlying this initiative arose through a research project conducted by physicians and statisticians of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, whose purpose was to identify genetic determinants associated with cardiovascular risk factors in the Brazilian population.

متن کاملLearning from our GWAS mistakes: from experimental design to scientific method
Many public and private genome-wide association studies that we have analyzed include flaws in design, with avoidable confounding appearing as a norm rather than the exception. Rather than recognizing flawed research design and addressing that, a category of quality-control statistical methods has arisen to treat only the symptoms. Reflecting more deeply, we examine elements of current genomic ...
