The NSF-CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences ``Statistical Inference from Genetic Data on Pedigrees'' will feature, as Principal Lecturer, Elizabeth Thompson of the University of Washington, who will deliver ten keynote lectures that expose attendees to methods for using state-of-the-art statistical techniques to analyze human genetic data. The areas covered by Professor Thompson's lectures will lie at the confluence of the fields of statistics, probability, genetics and molecular biology, and the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of the project will make it particularly attractive to statisticians, mathematicians, and quantitative biologists alike. Professor Thompson is a renowned researcher with an impressive array ofkey publications in statistical genetics. She is widely respected as a lecturer, having recently delivered two keynote addresses at the Joint Statistics Meetings. Her lectures will form the basis of the monograph``Meioses, Pedigrees and Populations: Modern Inference Methods for Human Genetic Data'' that will be published by the Institute for Mathematical Statistics. A diverse group of attendees will attend the conference, which will be held July 19--23 1999 at Michigan Technological University in Houghton: present will be established researchers and new entrants in several fields; women, minorities, graduate students and REU-undergraduates; persons from non research-intensive schools and persons wishing to enter the area. Participants will be housed in dormitory rooms or university apartments, and special attention will be paid to post-conference interaction and collaboration. Several organized social activities will be planned during the conference. The overall objective of the conference is to facilitate the learning of incisive statistical methodology in a contextual fashion, with a continual focus on a vitally important biological application.

NSF-CBMS 数学科学区域会议“谱系遗传数据的统计推断”将由华盛顿大学的 Elizabeth Thompson 担任首席讲师，她将发表十场主题演讲，向与会者展示使用最先进的统计技术分析人类遗传数据的方法。汤普森教授的讲座涵盖的领域将位于统计学、概率、遗传学和分子生物学领域的交汇处，该项目内在的跨学科性将使其对统计学家、数学家和定量生物学家等特别有吸引力。 汤普森教授是一位著名的研究人员，在统计遗传学领域发表了大量令人印象深刻的重要出版物。 作为一名讲师，她受到广泛尊重，最近在联合统计会议上发表了两次主题演讲。 她的讲座将构成专着《Meioses、谱系和种群：人类遗传数据的现代推理方法》的基础，该专着将由数理统计研究所出版。 会议将于 1999 年 7 月 19 日至 23 日在霍顿的密歇根理工大学举行，届时将有不同的与会者参加：出席者将包括多个领域的知名研究人员和新进入者；妇女、少数族裔、研究生和 REU 本科生；来自非研究密集型学校的人员和希望进入该地区的人员。 与会者将住在宿舍或大学公寓，并特别注重会后互动与合作。 会议期间将计划举办一些有组织的社交活动。 会议的总体目标是促进以情境方式学习深入的统计方法，并持续关注至关重要的生物学应用。
