http://www.biostat.washington.edu/suminst/sisg/general The 17th Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics (SISG 2012) will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. The Institute consists of a series of two-and-a-half day workshops designed to introduce geneticists to modern methods of statistical analysis and to introduce statisticians to the statistical challenges posed by modern genetic data. Prerequisites are minimal, and the modular nature of the Institute enables participants to design a program best suited to their back- grounds and interests. Most participants take two or three modules.
