"""This is a fantastic book intensively focusing on the mathematical underpinnings of modern genome-wide association studies (GWAS). It serves well for senior graduate students in applied mathematics, computer science, and statistics who are interested in building a solid mathematical understanding of GWAS. Backgrounds of advanced mathematics and genetics are expected. It can also be used as a handbook for professionals to quickly check mathematical contexts of GWAS approaches and tools. This book is especially helpful for the latest generation of statistical geneticists who are pursuing academic career paths."" ~Journal of the American Statistical Association, Jing Su (Wake Forest School of Medicine)"
