Goals of this webinar:

Heterogeneous stock (HS) rats are an outbred population that was created in 1984 by intercrossing 8 inbred strains. The Center for GWAS in Outbred Rats (www.ratgenes.org) has developed a suite of analysis tools for analyzing genome wide association studies (GWAS) in HS rats

• Explain the HS rat population and their history
• Describe the automated pipeline that performs GWAS in HS rats
• Explore the fine mapping of associated regions and explain the various secondary analyses that we use to prioritize genes within associated intervals
