This volume focuses on the use of system genetic methods and the use of murine models to study
the role of gene variants and environmental factors on human health and disease-what is now
often called personalized or precision health care. The protocols in this book will help
readers analyze genetic causes of heritable variation across a wide range of systems and traits
using rodent models. The chapters in this book are separated into three sections that cover: 1)
resources for systems genetics 2) tools for analysis and integration in systems genetics and
3) systems genetics use cases. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the
necessary materials and tools step-by-step readily reproducible protocols and tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Practical and thorough Systems Genetics: Methods
and Protocols is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in this diverse field.
