Short Course on Systems Genetics
The Short Course on Systems Genetics focuses on current approaches used to address the analysis of complex genetic traits both in humans and other model systems. This intensive 6-day residential course is offered in the Fall of each year and was developed by Center investigators Gary Churchill and Karl Broman.
 Faculty and Participants
The course is designed to accommodate students with a wide variety of backgrounds. Biologists seeking to gain a deeper understanding of statistical and computational methods as well as quantitative scientists desiring exposure to biological problems are welcome. Student enrollment is kept deliberately small to achieve a desirable level of student-faculty interaction.

 Course Contents
The overall goal of the course is to train new scientists and re-train established investigators in the use of mathematical tools for the analysis of complex phenotypes and systems. This goal is achieved through a series of lectures, computer workshops and discussion sessions.
