Reviews

<p>For the last decade this book has been the unrivaled standard text on human genetic linkage analysis.--J.H. Barrett Biometrics

A valuable resource. It is the most accessible work on the subject, and should be in the collection of everyone interested in mapping human genes. * Doody's Book Review * For the last decade this book has been the unrivaled standard text on human genetic linkage analysis. -- J.H. Barrett * Biometrics * One of the best books that cover the theory behind linkage analysis. Scientists with an interest in genetic linkage analysis should definitely consider allocating space on their bookshelves for this book. * Biotech Software and Internet Report *
