== Objective ==
This lecture introduces course objectives, which are to provide students with a working understanding of the techniques commonly used by statistical geneticists. These techniques can serve as building blocks for the implementation of more complex, customized analyses. In addition, the lecture provides a brief overview of modern human genetics trying to introduce the idea of rapidly increasing data sizes and the opportunities and challenges posed by modern GWAS.
== Recommended Reading ==
If you need a refresher or introduction to molecular genetics, I recommend:
Human Molecular Genetics by ''Tom Strachan and Andrew Read'' [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=hmg Web Edition at NCBI]
Lander and Schork (1994) "Genetic Dissection of Complex Traits" ''Science'' '''265''':2037-48 [http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/rapidpdf/265/5181/2037.pdf PDF at Science Magazine]
