Statistical Genomics: Linkage, Mapping, and QTL Analysis

Ben Hui Liu

Genomics, the mapping of the entire genetic complement of an organism, is the new frontier in biology. This handbook on the statistical issues of genomics covers current methods and the tried-and-true classical approaches.

Descriere

This handbook on the statistical issues of genomics covers methods and the tried-and-true classical approaches, providing a complete picture of genome statistics. It contains much basic information on the use of statistics in genomics, including how to determine a sample size and carry out a hypothesis test. This volume is different from other statistics books on genetics in that it contains a mixture of discrete and continuous variables and larger amounts of data, describes the need for bioinformatics, and is computationally intensive. It also features software available on the Internet.
