Department of Biostatistics 
Statistical Genetics Journal Club
Goal
The goal of the journal club is to foster discussion
of current issues in statistical genetics, with primary emphasis on methods for finding genes for complex diseases and on descriptive and quantitative studies
of the genome. Each week we read and discuss a relevant article from the recent literature. All interested individuals are encouraged to attend.
Meeting schedule and place
During the Fall 2006 semester, the Statistical Genetics Journal Club meets twice a month on Wednesday from 4:10-5:00 pm, in room M4134, SPH II
(unless otheriwse specified). If you would like to receive a biweekly e-mail
announcement, please contact Laura Scott at ljst@umich.edu or 763-0006.
Topics
Topics of discussion will likely include: linkage
disequilibrium mapping, local and global patterns of linkage disequilibrium, haplotype frequency estimation, methods for linkage and QTL analysis, methods for association analysis, gene conversion, and molecular methods for identifying functional variants

Presentations
Journal articles are chosen by the presenters. Presenters include students, postdoctoral fellows, staff and faculty from a variety of departments including but not limited to Biostatistics, Epidemiology,
and Human Genetics. |
