Cell Type Interaction Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Discovery in Human Retina
Program: Data Science Master's Degree
Host Company: The Ocular Genomics Institute
Location: Boston, Massachusetts (hybrid)
Student: Levi Svaren
This project investigated bioinformatics methods for cell type interaction expression quantitative trait loci (ieQTLs) discovery. In the context of two complex diseases, preliminary loci were identified. This project emphasized extensive statistical knowledge, virtual machines, and various machine learning concepts.
