E. Bonney,
Ph.D.,

The
Statistical
Genetics and
Bioinformatics
Unit, still
in its formative
stages, has
shown rapid
growth. The
ultimate aim
is to establish
at the center
a strong statistical,
mathematical
and computational
group to address
difficult analytical
problems in
genetics, especially
those arising
from or fostering
center studies.
There are two
principal activities,
research and
service, with
the following
aims:
1.
Research Program:
To develop statistical
methods and
computer software
for genetic
analysis utilizing
family data,
population samples,
and DNA and
protein sequences.
2.
Statistics and
Informatics
Service Core
(SISSC): To
provide statistics
and bioinformatics
support for
studies at the
center.
Furthermore,
Dr. Bonney is
providing a
leadership role
in developing
two research
programs with
small funding
from the National
Human Research
Institute. They
are: the genetic
epidemiology
of asthma and
breast cancer.
RESEARCH PROGRAM
The Statistical
Genetics and
Bioinformatics
Research Program
evaluates and
develops statistical
methods and
computer software
for genetic
analysis involving
family data,
population samples,
and DNA and
protein sequences.
New
methods are
implemented
in our user-friendly
computer software
packages: G.E.MS
for genetic
epidemiologic
data, CORRDAT
for general
correlated data,
MULTIMAX for
function optimization,
and BIOSEQA
for the analysis
of DNA, protein
and other biological
sequences. The
methods being
studied in this
research program
are all directly
applicable to
the genetic
epidemiology
studies at the
center, and
so the group
is highly motivated.
