GeneStat provides a knowledge base for statistical genetics through an Internet-based series of tutorials and reviews with links to key sites and computer programs for analysis of genetic data.

GeneStat focuses on statistical methods for genetic association studies. The phases of genetic studies covered in GeneStat start from planning stage and genotyping quality control, continue with a large section on testing and estimating association under different designs and outcomes, modelling tools for genotypic information and use of replication studies and meta-analysis. Finally, there's an introduction to the basic concepts of Mendelian randomisation.

GeneStat is running on a Wikipedia engine, so feel free to add and edit entries! GeneStat was created by the PHOEBE biostatistics group and established with supported by the EU FP6 funded project PHOEBE - Promoting harmonization of epidemiological biobanks in Europe.

Research in Water Imbalance Related Disorders
Coordinator: Professor Ole Petter Ottersen, University of Oslo, Norway
Aim : The aim of NCoE for WIRED is to provide new insight in the large number of diseases that reflect a perturbed handling of water in our body. Focus diseases include brain and kidney diseases.

Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases
Coordinator :
Professor Patrik Brundin, Lund university, Sweden.
Primary missions:
¤ to unravel the events that lead to a slow, gradual death of nerve cells in disease
¤ to develop new therapies
¤ to train young scientists to become excellent in research into brain and spinal cord diseases.

Advanced Molecular Tools for Array-based Analyses of Genomes
New molecular tools will give us the opportunity to identify all molecules encoded in our genomes, even at the single-molecule level, and to do this in individual patient samples. The EU FP6 project MolTools aims to promote the development and implementations of such tools by bringing together leading European groups in the area of molecular technology development.
