Index.
"I think this is an excellent book--I recommend it to anyone
involved in molecular epidemiology.... The 26 chapters are written
by topic specialists, in an explanatory, easy to read style."
(BTS Newsletter, Summer 2009)
"This text provides an accessible and useful handbook for the
epidemiologist who wants to survey the field, to become better
informed, to look at recent developments and get some background on
these or simply to appreciate further the relatively rapid changes
in informatic and analytical technologies which increasingly will
serve and underpin future epidemiological studies. One of the
strengths in this book is the extensive array of practical
illustrative examples, and it would also in my opinion have useful
potential as a teaching text." (American Journal of Human
Biology, March 2009)
