Statistical Genetics - Gene Mapping Through Linkage and Association

Zusatztext "?well organized and is written and edited by enthusiastic experts. This will be a great starting place for anyone who wants to understand and! hopefully! get involved with research on the genetics of human complex traits." Twin Research and Human Genetics Informationen zum Autor Neale, Benjamin; Ferreira, Manuel ; Medland, Sarah; Posthuma, Danielle Klappentext Statistical Genetics focuses on conducting genetic linkage and association analysis in the post-genomic era. It covers established and new methodologies, providing the genetic and statistical theory on which they are based. Worked examples of important methods are given, as well as study design and sources of error.
