title: From the phenotype to the genotype via bioinformatics.
abstract: Moving a project from the status of observing a trait of interest to identifying the underlying causal variant is a challenging task requiring a series of bioinformatics procedures and ideally the availability of a suitable reference genome sequence and its associated resources. We visit common practices for discovering the biology underlying observed traits in mammals.
