Meta-analysis and combining information in genetics and genomics

With contributions from leading experts, "Meta-analysis and Combining Information in Genetics and Genomics" provides theory, methods, and guiding principles for meta-analysis and combining information for various types of genetic studies. This book begins with an introduction to meta-analysis and combining information as well as statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and proteomics. Addressing the complications inherent in comparing and replicating genetic studies, the contributors carefully examine microarrays, gene mapping, and proteomics. They detail the various techniques used to analyze and combine data from different types of studies. This is the first book devoted to meta-analysis in genetics. ÍNDICE: Introductory Material.
