Exercises for course in genetic linkage and association analysis

I sometimes teach an introductory course in linkage and association analysis at Aarhus University in Denmark and in London.

Here is a link to the course timetable
Here is a link to the contents page allowing you to browse the exercises on line

The course provides people with some experience of the standard files and programs used to carry out linkage analysis and demonstrates some principles of data management. You can browse the exercises on-line, but the main idea is that you download them and set them up on your own machine, so that you can provide the exercises for local users. If you like, you can use the exercises as the basis for a course you teach (though royalties are then payable) or you can just have them installed on a machine in your lab and have people work through them in order to gain a little hands-on experience of the programs. Be sure to read the section regarding how to set up the exercises.
