Edinburgh 17-22 June 2012 http://www.icqg4.org.uk/

The aim will be to present and discuss state-of-the-art results, theoretical developments, understanding and methodology across the whole range of quantitative genetics - the genetic analysis and interpretation of data on complex traits - and to provide a stimulating conference in an attractive locale. Topics will include statistical methods for parameter estimation, including analysis of trait, genomic and functional genomic data; methods for QTL and gene identification; genetic control of complex traits; prediction of breeding value and individual risk, and interpretation of evolutionary change. The meeting will pertain to and span results from, for example, humans, livestock, crops, micro-organisms and natural and experimental populations of all species.

Information on the web will be updated in due course. Meanwhile, for further information please contact a member of the pro-tem local organising committee: Bill Hill (w.g.hill@ed.ac.uk) (Chair), Lutz Bünger, DJ de Koning, Chris Haley, Loeske Kruuk, Alan Wright, Josephine Pemberton and Mike Kearsey.
