Magnus D. Vigeland is a mathematician-turned-geneticist, specializing in statistical genetics and sequence analysis in medical genomics and epigenomics. Magnus is the author of several software packages for genetic analysis, including the program FILTUS for disease gene identification in research projects and diagnostic sequencing of parent-offspring trios. His favourite subject is family-based analyses of all kinds, and he maintains a suite of R packages (pedtools) devoted to relatedness and pedigree analysis.
