Introduces advanced analytical methods in genetic epidemiology and illustrates their application using current software tools. Adds depth to the students’ understanding by critiquing example papers from the recent literature, and students develop and design a research project incorporating these methods. Some material is offered as recorded lectures to free up class time for interactive discussion of analytical issues and examples from the literature.
