Webinar #04 - From Candidate Genes to Causal Variants—Strategies for and Examples of Identifying Genes and Sequence Variants in Rodent Populations

Friday, June 26, 2020 10am PDT/ 11am MDT/ 12pm CDT/ 1pm EDT

Goals of this webinar (candidate genes to causal variants):

  • To understand when it is practical or (just as often) not practical to try to "clone" the gene or nucleotide variant modulating trait variants
  • To understand that defining the crucial causal nucleotide variant is usually a bonus and often not for the translational or even mechanistic utility of discoveries.
  • To review new sequence-based methods to identify common and rare variants—the reduced complexity cross and epoch-effects in reference populations
