Statistical Methods and Algorithms for Analysis of High-throughput Genetics and Genomics Platforms [ 2006 - 2011 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Visscher (Principal investigator)

Brief description Through rapid advances in high-throughput -omics technologies, the number of phenotypes and the number of genotypes in gene mapping studies are or will be orders of magnitudes larger than in previous studies. Current algorithms and analysis methods have not kept up with the speed of data collection, nor has the training of qualified researchers. We will develop quantitative trait loci (fine) mapping analysis methods and bioinformatics algorithms and train (post)graduates in these research areas.
