This five full-day intensive course will cover state-of-the-art statistical methods for detection of genetic loci for complex traits. Each day will include hands-on computer exercises using statistical genetics computer programs, especially the Mendel software package, with its new graphical front-end.
We will cover the general theory behind the methods as well as emphasize the practical aspects needed to give the best chances of success. The course is designed to assist people who will be performing statistical analyses to discover the genetic basis of complex traits. The methods covered are appropriate to both human and non-human populations.
