Abstract |
Common terms used in genetics with multiple meanings are explained and the terminology used in subsequent chapters is defined. Statistical Human Genetics has existed as a discipline for over a century, and during that time the meanings of many of the terms used have evolved, largely driven by molecular discoveries, to the point that molecular and statistical geneticists often have difficulty understanding each other. It is, therefore, imperative, now that so much of molecular genetics is becoming an in silico statistical science, that we have well-defined, common terminology. |
