Statistical genetics is the combination between statistics and genetics, aimed to understand the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes and human health using powerful statistical tools. The core of statistical genetics is the development and application of statistical methods to analyze genetic and genomic data and understand how genes influence phenotypic traits and diseases. The objectives of this workshop are to introduce the state-of-art concepts and methodologies that can better disentangle the complexities in genetics and unveil the unknowns in this field. Speakers are active researchers at the frontiers in the methodological development of statistical genetics.
