Genetical genomics: the added value from segregation
|
Abstract
The recent successes of genome-wide expression profiling tend to overlook the power of genetics. In this presentation I propose a merger of genomics and genetics into 'genetical genomics'. This involves expression profiling and marker-based fingerprinting of each individual of a segregating population, and exploits all the statistical tools used in the analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Genetical genomics combines the power of two different worlds in a way that is likely to become instrumental in the further unraveling of metabolic, regulatory and developmental pathways.
Bio
Dr. Jansen leads the Statistical Genetics group at Plant Research International, Wageningen University / Research in the Netherlands. He is most cited for his work on the composite interval mapping method of QTL analysis. His current work includes QTL analyses on plants, cattle, and in human cancer research.
If you would like to meet with Dr. Jansen, he will be available Friday 15 June for most of the day. Contact Jean-Luc Jannink, jjannink@iastate.edu
