The course will focus on positional cloning of genes for human traits and diseases through linkage and association analysis. Parametric and nonparametric linkage analysis are presented for dichotomous as well as continuous traits. Methods for association analysis in families and case-control designs using single markers or haplotypes are covered. Some common software tools for linkage analysis, association analysis and haplotype tagging will be introduced.
