AN S513 - Statistical Genetics for Quantitative Measures

Institution:

University of Arizona

Subject:

Description:

Description: This course provide the student with the statistical tools to describe variation in quantitative traits, particularly the decomposition of variation into genetic, environmental, and gene by environment interaction components. Convariance (resemblance) between relatives and heritability will be discussed, along with the topics of epistasis, oligogenic and polygenic traits, complex segregation analysis, methods of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), and estimation procedures. Microarrays have multiple uses, each of which will be discussed and the corresponding statistical analyses described. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): A basic genetic principles course as AN S 213, GENE 433, GENE 533, or GENE 545. A current course on basic statistical principles as GENE 509C or MATH 509C. A course in linear models as MATH 561 and in statistical inference mathematics. Identical to: GENE 513, EPID 513. Usually offered: Fall.
