Handbook on Analyzing Human Genetic Data (eBook, PDF)

Computational Approaches and Software
Redaktion: Lin, Shili; Zhao, Hongyu

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This handbook provides human geneticists and other biomedical researchers with guidance on selections of appropriate computational methods and software packages for their specific genetic problems. It may also be used by students and other learners as a reference in conjunction with a more theoretical and/or methodologically oriented text book. Coverage strikes a balance between methodological expositions and practical guidelines for software selections. Wherever possible, comparisons among competing methods and software are made to highlight the relative advantages and disadvantage of the approaches so that readers can make informed choices to best match their specific needs.
