Statistical Genetics/Genetic Epidemiology Journal Club meets the first and third Thursdays of every month at 2:00 PM in the Wachovia Center Conference Room 2314. Articles are chosen approximately one to two weeks before their presentation. Three times each six months SG/GE Journal Club presents synopses of relevant journal articles from the major genetics journals. Although we may allow a relevant articles from any journal, we focus primarily on the American Journal of Human Genetics, Genetic Epidemiology and Human Heredity.
Email journal article info (title, authors, reference) no later than one week in advance to mfranks@wfubmc.edu
Meeting held the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month
