SUMMER INSTITUTE IN STATISTICAL GENETICS

统计遗传学夏季研究所将于1999年6月至2004年6月的头两周在北卡罗来纳州立大学举行。该研究所将包括一系列为期三天的统计遗传学各方面的短期课程，由统计和遗传学系的教员担任主要讲师。该领域的其他专家将协助指导。课程内容包括：群体遗传数据分析；数量遗传数据分析；数量性状基因座定位；人类疾病基因定位；分子遗传数据分析；生物信息学。还将为遗传学家开设基础统计学入门短期课程，为统计学家开设基础遗传学入门短期课程。这些课程主要针对遗传学家，他们面临着分析越来越多的复杂基因数据的需要，并将在一定程度上强调人类疾病的分析。还将努力吸引更多的统计人员进入统计遗传学领域。要求每年提供25个奖学金，使研究生和博士后能够进入该研究所学习。还要求为该研究所25名教员的津贴提供支助。

A Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics will be held at North Carolina State University during the first two weeks of June, 1999 through 2004. The Institute will consist of a series of three-day short courses in various aspects of statistical genetics, with faculty members of the Departments of Statistics and Genetics serving as primary instructors. Other experts in the field will assist in the instruction. The courses will cover: Population Genetic Data Analysis; Quantitative Genetic Data Analysis; Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping; Human Disease Gene Mapping; Molecular Genetic Data Analysis; and Bioinformatics. There will also be introductory short courses in basic statistics for geneticists and basic genetics for statisticians. The courses are aimed primarily at geneticists who are faced with the need to analyze increasing amounts of complex genetic data, and there will be some emphasis on human disease analyses. An effort will also be made to attract more statisticians into the field of statistical genetics. Support is requested for 25 scholarships per year to allow graduate students and postdoctoral students to attend the Institute. Support is also requested for the stipends of 25 instructors in the Institute.
