Ways to Find Confounding in Biobanks - CGSI 2023

Explore methods for identifying confounding factors in biobank research through this 44-minute conference talk by Nancy Cox at the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI) 2023. Delve into the challenges of polygenic prediction and genetic association studies using large-scale biobank data. Examine key papers in the field, including Okbay et al.'s work on educational attainment prediction, Yengo et al.'s comprehensive map of height-associated genetic variants, and Berg et al.'s study on reduced signals for polygenic adaptation of height in UK Biobank. Gain insights into advanced techniques for detecting and mitigating confounding effects in genomic analyses, essential for improving the accuracy and reliability of biobank-based research in computational genomics.
