Unlocking Genetics: The Power of GWAS in Disease and Diversity

Dive into the fascinating world of genetics with us as we explore QTL analysis and the groundbreaking Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Discover how GWAS reveals genetic links to diseases by comparing DNA variations in affected individuals versus the general population. But it doesn’t stop there! Learn how this method helps us understand the genetic diversity in animals, like the size differences among dog breeds. Join us on this journey toward personalized medicine as we uncover the complexities of our genetic makeup!
