Workshop: Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics 1997, 1998, and 1999 at North Carolina State University

9710436威尔统计遗传学暑期研究所将于1997年、1998年和1999年6月在北卡罗来纳州州立大学举行为期两周的会议。该研究所将包括一系列为期两天或三天的讲习班，旨在向遗传学家教授当前的统计方法。随着越来越多的分子遗传数据变得可用，越来越需要统计分析来提取所有信息并进行推断。在寻找影响离散性状和数量性状的基因、解释进化研究中的DNA和蛋白质序列数据以及使用遗传图谱进行个体识别方面，这一需求已变得迫切。该研究所将提供这些领域以及基本统计概念的教学。由于在解释遗传数据方面的长期进展将需要具有高级统计培训和技能的人的参与，该研究所还将为统计人员提供基础遗传学讲习班。这份申请是为了资助那些无法参加该研究所的学生。

9710436 Weir A summer institute in statistical genetics will be held at North Carolina State University for two weeks in June of 1997, 1998 and 1999. The institute will consist of a series of two- or three-day workshops designed to teach current statistical methods to geneticists. As increasing amounts of molecular genetic data become available, there is an increasing need for statistical analyses to extract all the information and make inferences. The need has become urgent in the search for genes affecting both discrete and quantitative traits, in the interpretation of DNA and protein sequence data for evolutionary studies, and in the use of genetic profiles for individual identification. The institute will offer instruction in each of these areas, as well as in basic statistical concepts. Because long-term progress in interpreting genetic data is going to require the involvement of people with advanced statistical training and skills, the institute will also offer a workshop in basic genetics for statisticians. This application is for funding to allow students, who would otherwise be unable, to attend the institute.
