Smaller TextGenomics Research at McMaster
Researchers with the McMaster Population Genomics Program (PGP) have access to large collections of DNA and finely phenotyped cohorts at McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences. This rich database is an excellent resource for studying genetic associations with common complex diseases but will take sophisticated methodological approaches to reliably assess them.
The PGP’s home in the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics brings it a rich tradition of developing innovative biostatistical methodologies that will help spark high-impact breakthroughs in the new frontier of population-genomics research.
