The Section on Statistical Genetics (SSG) in the Biostatistics Department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham invites the scientific community to make use of our wide-ranging electronic resources including data analysis tools and educational videos. We also invite applicants for Post-doctoral Positions and for our Certificate Program in Statistical Genetics.

LINKAGE & LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS	More than 80 user-friendly, cutting-edge computer programs to perform fast and efficient analyses. Details at www.ssg.uab.edu, "Linkage and Association Projects."
QTL ANALYSIS SOFTWARE	QTLBIM. -- An R Package for the Bayesian Interval Mapping of QTL. Details at http://www.soph.uab.edu/Statgenetics/qtlbim/index.htm
MICROARRAY DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS	HDBStat!—HDBStat!, designed for the statistical analysis of microarray data, takes non-normal data and small sample sizes into account and makes use of mixture models. Details at www.ssg.uab.edu/hdbstat. Power Atlas—a web-based resource that helps investigators plan and design microarray and expression based experiments. This software estimates the power and sample size for a two group comparison based upon pilot data. Details at www.poweratlas.org.
