Preface
In recent years, there has been phenomenal progress in the understanding of the genetic architecture of normal and disease-related complex phenotypes. The progress has been fueled by an explosion of research activities related to the Human Genome Project and subsequent sequencing projects, and the nonhuman primate comprehensive sequencing projects. Advances in molecular genetics, statistical genetics, medical genetics, and bioinformatics have accompanied this progress. Tracing its roots back to the laws of inheritance established by Mendel, which continue to be the basic tenets underlying modern gene
