Genetic association studies over the past two decades have discovered hundreds of thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human phenotypes. However, SNPs constitute only one type of genetic variation — the easiest class to explore using existing analysis pipelines. In this talk, I will describe analyses of several other classes of genetic variation — tandem repeats, copy-number variants, and other structural variants — using new computational techniques that have revealed many large, readily-interpretable effects of genetic variation on human traits.
