The human genome consists of over 3 billion nucleotides that have an average distance of 3.4 Angstroms between each base, which equates to over two meters of DNA contained within the 125 $\mu m^3$ volume diploid cell nuclei. The dense compaction o...
With advances in genome sequencing technology, datasets with large sample sizes can be generated relatively quickly and cheaply, especially compared to the past decade or so. We can utilize this data to analyze the associations between genetic var...
