Publisher's Synopsis
The articles in this special issue are based on papers presented at the 34th European Mathematical Genetics Meeting, held in Cardiff in April 2006. Written by some of the leading researchers in statistical genetics, they present novel methodology in the areas of linkage analysis, association analysis (both case-control and family based), and applications to genome-wide studies (both linkage and association). This publication is recommended reading for researchers in the fields of human genetics, statistical genetics and statistics who wish to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in statistical analysis techniques for complex human genetic data.
