[PDF] Statistical Genetics of Quantitative Traits: Linkage, Maps, and QTL Rongling Wu, George Casella, Chang-Xing Ma (auth.)

This book intends to provide geneticists with the tools needed to understand and model the genetic variation for quantitative traits based on genomic data collected in mapping research and equip statisticians with the uniqueness and ideas in relation to the exploration of genetic secrets using their computational skills. This book also intends to attract researchers toward multidisciplinary research and to introduce them to new paradigms in genomic science. In this book, the statistical and computational theories applied to genetic mapping are developed hand in hand and a number of examples displaying the implications of statistical genomics are introduced.
