MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The Genetic Analysis of Complex Disease provides a comprehensive introduction to the various strategies, designs, and methods of analysis for the study of human complex genetic disease. Chapters present clear and easily referenced overviews of the broad range of considerations involved in genetic analysis of human complex genetic disease. This updated third edition includes a new chapter on next-generation sequencing, copy-number variants and epigenetic analysis, increased emphasis on bioinformatics tools, and a new expanded chapter on complex genetic interactions.
