Most p-value explanations that I've come across focus only on the mechanical process of calculation, without telling students why they're doing it or how to interpret the results. So this video is me attempting to motivate the concept of hypothesis testing from first principles.

What is a p-value? #SoME4
YouTube video by Max Dudek What is a p-value? #SoME4

My foray into video creation! This is my entry into #SoME4, an annual exposition of math-explainers. A friendly introduction to hypothesis testing, with minimal math background required.

Characterization of non-coding variants associated with transcription-factor binding through ATAC-seq-defined footprint QTLs in liver Dudek etΒ al. use chromatin accessibility data in liver from 170 human donors to measure transcription factor binding at genetic variants. They observed 809 variants associated with binding. Given bind...

Our new paper is out today in AJHG! We applied a "footprinting" algorithm to ATAC-seq data from 170 livers to find non-coding variants associated with TF binding. We show that these "footprint QTLs" (#fpQTLs) can fine-map GWAS loci at base-pair resolution.

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...
