Course Overview
The Introduction to Statistical Methods for Gene Mapping programme offered by edX will help the learners to get primer knowledge to statistical genetics. The candidate also gets a new approach to linkage disequilibrium mapping which is used to analyse the non- familial data successfully used to identify gene variations related with complex and common gene traits. This course enriches the knowledge of the candidate in the field of genetics.
This course is self-paced and an online programme which gives the learners an easy way to access and learn the course. This programme motivates the students to study more and more topics in statistical genetics which helps in better understanding the biological variation.
The certificate which is issued on completion of the course by edX has the logo of the institution and signed by the instructor. This verified certificate is easily shareable to other platforms or posts it directly on LinkedIn. It can also be added to the candidate’s resume to create more job opportunities.
