The American Association of Anthropological
Genetics and the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research
(SFBR) held a short workshop entitled “Anthropological
and Primate Genetics” in the fall of 2007 on the
SFBR campus in San Antonio, TX. The workshop focused on
the study of normal variation and genetic epidemiology in
both human and nonhuman primates. Presenters introduced
concepts, methods, and results of genetic analysis with the
aim of helping participants design their own genetic studies.
The workshop is intended for graduate students and faculty
interested in integrating various genetic methods into their
research programs, but is also open to advanced undergraduates
and others with a serious interest in these types of analyses.
The workshop ended with a special question and answer
session with a panel of researchers who could answer participants’ specific
questions regarding data collection, the potential of previously
collected data, opportunities for training and collaboration,
etc.
