DESCRIPTION:Genome association studies have been traditionally used to exp
 lore \ngenotype to disease phenotype associations. However\, this a very g
 eneral\ntechnique which can be used for any observable phenotype with a pr
 oportion\nvariance due to genetic differences. I will illustrate recent pr
 ogress in\nusing genetic based association to understand basic biological 
 phenomena\,\nsuch as chromatin accessibility in lymphocytes and Drosophila
  Oogensis.
