Editorial Reviews

Designed to serve as a textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students, and as a handbook for genomic data analysis. Topics include the screening of genetic markers, linkage analysis and grouping, gene ordering, multilocus models, linkage map construction and merging, the use of population disequilibrium to search for genes, the theory and methods of quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, computer tools for genomic map construction and QTL analysis, and resampling techniques and computer simulations.
