Advanced Gene Mapping Course (Previously called: Advanced Linkage Course)
GSF National Research Center - Munich
Institute of Human Genetics
Monday through Friday November 7-11, 2005
An advanced gene mapping course will be held at the GSF in Munich from
Monday through Friday, November 7-11, 2005. Please note: this course
was previously called the advanced linkage course and was held in Zurich,
the name has been changed to reflect the expanded scope of the course in

companies. This fee covers tuition, course related expenses (handouts,
etc.) and the social evening but not room and board .
The maximum number of participants is 20. Emphasis in this course is on
the analysis of complex disease traits. It will include theory as well as
practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of
computer programs (ALLEGRO, GENEHUNTER, MERLIN, SNPHAP, PBAT, FBAT, R,
etc). TOPICS include: sibpair analysis (quantitative and qualitative
traits); non-parametric methods for analyzing extended family pedigree
data; haplotype construction; association studies (case-control and family
based); and sample size estimations. The organizers of this course are
Suzanne Leal and Tim Strom (GSF). The instructors for the course are:
Goncalo Abecasis (University of Michigan), David Clayton (Cambridge
University), Heather Cordell (Cambridge University), Christoph Lange
(Harvard University), Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and
