Listen now
Description
This guest lecture by Prof. George Church is on the topic of causality, in particular, how to use genomic data and the tools of natural computing to differentiate between correlation and causation.

This lecture is guided by the question "Where is missing heritability found?" Prof. David Gifford discusses computational models that can predict phenotype from genotype. He then discusses how to discover and model quantitative trait loci.
