The Program in Statistical Genetics is located within the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University. It is concerned with developing and applying statistical methods to genetic data, both population and quantitative. Methods are being developed to interpret DNA and protein sequence data, locate genes affecting quantitative traits and human diseases, and to assess the significance of matching DNA profiles. Program personnel publish papers and distribute computer programs to disseminate the results of this work.
Regular meetings allow for an exchange of ideas between theoretical and experimental geneticists.
The Program in Statistical Genetics will hold its sixth Summer Institute between May 27 and June 15, 2001. A series of three-day workshops will be offered in a wide range of topics. Registrations and scholarship applications will be accepted after December 1, 2000. A small number of workshops will be offered beween December 13 and 15, 2001.
