Webinar Series - Quantitative Genetics Tools for Mapping Trait Variation to Mechanisms, Therapeutics, and Interventions

The NIDA Center of Excellence in Omics, Systems Genetics, and the Addictome has put together a webinar series, Quantitative Genetics Tools for Mapping Trait Variation to Mechanisms, Therapeutics, and Interventions. The goal of this series is to transverse the path from trait variance to QTL to gene variant to molecular networks to mechanisms to therapeutic and interventions. The target audience for this series are those new to the field of quantitative genetics, so please pass this information on to your trainees or colleagues.
