Program

Further information on the program will be available here soon.



PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

We will offer a pre-conference workshop on advanced behavior genetic analyses (e.g., gene-environment correlation and interaction). Using data from the TwinLife study, participants will learn how to analyze twin data with more complex models in R (using packages “umx” and “OpenMx”) and to interpret the results.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION

The workshop is free of charge and will take place before the conference on the 26th of March. If you want to attend, please consider arriving a day early.

On the ➔ TwinLife Data Documentation website, you can find example materials from past workshops.
