Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) using R by Andy Chen | Tunis R User Group | Workshop #2

We were excited to announce the start of our activities again within #Tunis #R User Group. Our first meetup for 2023 was held virtually on Saturday, May 27, 2023 and served as an introduction to Genome-Wide Association Studies using R.

Andy Chen is an aspiring plant breeder with an M.Sc. in plant #genetics and breeding from the University of Guelph, where he studied with the late Professors Alireza Navabi and Professors Istvan Rajcan. During this time, he developed a new phenotyping method and identified genetic markers that could improve the winter-hardiness of winter wheat using #GWAS. He is currently a final-year PhD student at the John Innes Centre in the UK, working with Professor Cristobal Uauy. Andy's current research focuses on utilizing genomic resources to identify wheat genes and new variations that can improve yield, agronomic performance, and end-use quality.
