Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course students will have considerable hands-on experience through computer practicals and will have produced written reports on their own analyses and interpretation in the following areas:
(i) The use of computer software for analysing marker data.
(ii) The analysis of simple traits,including linkage analysis, in humans and animals.
(iii) Analysis of complex traits, in particular quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. |
