| Rotation Project Announcement | June 15, 2007 |
Available immediately, we have data from a large mouse intercross, the "Collaborative Cross".
Data on gene expression and various clinical responses will be used to construct a statistical model
for the interrelationships of these factors. We propose to use "structural equation models", a
method that has been available for many years, but only recently used on genetic/metabolic
networks. The specific application deals with adipose tissue metabolism.
Interested students must have taken one year of statistics, and should
contact either Arnold Saxton or Brynn Voy
