GENOMIC EPIDEMIOLOGY
An introduction to genomic epidemiology, including a general overview of genetics and Mendelian and complex inheritance, as well as various elements of study design, such as participant ascertainment; phenotype definition; biologic sample selection; genotyping, sequencing, and quality control; measurement of covariates; and choice of analytic methods. Briefly covers original study designs; focuses on current study designs.
