The following tutorial is designed to systematically introduce you to a number of techniques for genome-wide association studies. It is not meant to replicate all the workflows you might use in a complete analysis, but instead touch on a sampling of the more typical scenarios you may come across in your own studies.
The genotype data included is a portion of a public GWAS dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, as well as 270 HapMap samples. There is a population spreadsheet that identifies the HapMap subpopulation and the study data. Both studies were run on the Affymetrix 500K genotyping array. All phenotype data is simulated.
