General Information
The 2010 Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics will be held in the South Campus Center of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. A map showing this location is on the Institute website:

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 backgrounds and interests. Most participants take two or three modules.

Individuals attending the Institute will receive certificates of course completion in recognition of their participation.
