Please note: this site is for Professor Mezey's Quantitative Genomics Class.  For more information on Professor Mezey, please see his Cornell Departmental profile and his Research Site.

For two decades, Professor Mezey taught the course Quantitative Genomics and Genetics, offered simultaneously at Cornell University (Ithaca, New York) and Weill Cornell Medicine (New York, New York).  The course provides a rigorous treatment of analysis techniques used to understand complex genetic systems, including both the fundamentals and advances in statistical methodology used to identify genetic loci impacting disease, agriculturally relevant, and evolutionarily important phenotypes.  Full course availability is restricted to students at Cornell University, Cornell Tech, Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and Rockefeller University where over a thousand students among these institutions have taken the course.  While access to the full course is limited, the lecture slide decks and videos for Spring 2024 - the last time the course was offered by Dr. Mezey - are made available here under the following conditions of use: no person or entity is allowed to use these course material - or anything derived from course materials - for any for-profit purposes, directly or indirectly. Please contact the Department of Computational Biology at Cornell University for any additional information.
