March 30-31, 2005, Institute of Biology, Lille, France
The spring European FBAT/PBAT course will be held in Lille, France, from
March 30th to March 31st 2005.
This course will focus on family based designs for association studies;
these designs use information on affected individuals and their relatives,
most commonly parents and/or siblings. This course will give a very brief
introduction to the basic concepts of genetic association in general, and
family based designs in particular. The focus of the course is on the
FBAT/PBAT methodology and how to use the packages. The orientation of the
course is practical rather than theoretical. It combines lectures and
computer tutorials with hands on data analysis using the FBAT and PBAT
packages.
This course is intended for epidemiologists, data analysts, geneticists,
clinicians and statisticians involved in the analysis of genetic data.
Familiarity with genetic concepts as well as background in basic
statistics at the level of linear/logistic regression is highly desirable.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own data sets; check the FBAT
