The Complex Trait Community is an informal group of scientific researchers investigating the genetic basis of complex traits in diverse organisms.

While the annual CTC meetings have historically been dominated by mouse geneticists, all researchers interested in complex trait analysis and systems genetics are encouraged to participate.

The final program is now available.

This year’s meeting will feature a discussion forum organized around the theme, “Systems genetics: Past, present, and future.” The purpose is to generate lively discussion, focusing on: “What have been the biggest advances in our understanding of the genetics of complex traits in recent years? Which genetic and technological resources have generated the largest contributions?” The discussion will be facilitated by a few individuals with intimate knowledge of this area.
