Winter Quarter 2006
Seminar: Tuesday 4:00-5:00, in F643 HSB
Jan. 3 Organizational meeting. Bring, written down on a piece of paper, general topic(s) you would be interested in reading about that are pertinent to the broad field of statistical genetics. If you have any specific articles from the literature to suggest, write those down as well. We will (as usual) pick one or more areas for literature review, for weeks in which we do not have a research presentation, and we will set up the rest of the quarter's schedule.
