RESEARCH
Research conducted by the Virtual Institute of Statistical Genomics falls in three broad areas:
-
Statistical and computational methods predict phenotype from large datasets, such as whole genome dense marker maps. - Bayesian multi-locus detection methods and software development to calculate unbiased estimates of QTL effect in allo-polyploids.
- Developing Bayesian analytical methods to optimise experimental design, for detecting gene effects in a range of species important to New Zealand.
