Current and IntuitionStatistical FrameworkApproachesChallengesHistory Quantitative Genomcs / Geneticsmay be loosely definedas the field concerned with the statistical modeling of thegenetics of complex phenotypes. Relevant history: 1900-1980: statistical analysis of the patterns of inheritence( the resemblance between relatives). 1980-2002: mapping (= identification) of the genetic lociresponsible for most Mendelian diseases ( diseases wherealleles at a single genetic locus determines disease). 2002-present: age of Genomics first convincing mapping ofgenetic loci for complex traits ( cases where genotypecannot be inferred directly from the phenotype).
