Welcome to the CTC 2012!

 

The CTC (http://www.complextrait.org) is an international group of scientists (geneticists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticists, statisticians, etc…) working to identify networks of genes and allelic variants that modulate complex phenotypes in diverse environments.

Along with the major large-scale genomic sequencing projects and the emergence or innovative genetic reference populations, QTL mapping and quantitative genetics have undergone a major revolution in the last decade. Progress in the next decade promises to be even more rapid and the prospects for exploring and investigating the complex interactions between gene variants, disease, and the environment will be significantly improved. Essentially all human diseases are complex since their range of prevalence, severity and outcome is determined by the interaction of many genes and environmental factors.

The CTC 2012 meeting aims at gathering scientists working on complex traits in the mouse, humans, farm animals, other animal species and plants, to promote cross-fostering interactions and the emergence of innovative approaches.
