Learn about genes associated with psychiatric disease!
You will learn about Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and use the publicly available GWAS Catalog to identify genes associated with a psychiatric disease that you are interested in. Then, you will craft a written paper or presentation describing what is known about some of these genes and what particular roles they play in the disease of interest.
