Finding the molecular basis of complex genetic variation in humans and mice

Richard Mott. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. .

Abstract

I survey the state of the art in complex trait analysis, including the use of new experimental and computational technologies and resources becoming available, and the challenges facing us. I also discuss how the prospects of rodent model systems compare with association mapping in humans.
