| This course will present an overview of statistical genetics with emphasis on methods for detection of genetic loci for complex traits. The course will be balanced between theory and applications. After a brief but thorough refresher on the biological principles underlying statistical genetics, we will cover statistical models that underlie many pedigree-based gene mapping methods. We will then cover the statistical theory and implementation of methods for: allele frequency estimation, estimation of ethnic admixture, transmission distortion and gene mapping, penetrance estimation using generalized linear models, variance component models for quantitative trait mapping, and variance component models for inbred strains. Prerequisite: Familiarity with basic statistical modeling and likelihood theory is assumed. Recommended Textbook: Lange, K (2002). Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Genetic Analysis, 2nd edition. Springer-Verlag. ISBN: 978-0-387-95389-2 | ||
