Book Review :
''Statistical Genetics'' by Prem Narain is a specialized textbook that bridges the crucial gap between statistical theory and genetic research. It is designed for students and researchers in fields such as biology, agriculture, medicine, and ecology who need to analyze genetic data. The book systematically introduces the statistical methodologies essential for understanding and interpreting genetic phenomena, including topics like population genetics, heritability estimation, linkage analysis, quantitative genetics, and the analysis of genetic markers. By providing a clear exposition of both the mathematical underpinnings and their practical applications in genetics, this book serves as a valuable tool for designing experiments, processing complex datasets, and drawing meaningful biological conclusions. Published by New Age International, it is a key resource for anyone looking to apply rigorous statistical analysis to questions in modern genetics.
