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 (http://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
