Figure Lengend Snippet: Dos and Don’ts of Integrating Genetics and Psychological Science
Article Snippet: Do ... genotype your participants . Even if your study is too small for a primary genetic-discovery analysis such as a GWAS, there are lots of opportunities for high-impact research. Genetic data are special. DNA sequences do not change, so they have to be measured only once. And they are all purpose. The same genetic data can be used to follow-up results from any genetic-association study, including studies that will be conducted in the future. Collecting genetic data is already inexpensive, and costs are falling. For example, companies such as Gencove now offer services that include sample collection, DNA analysis, and data cleaning and processing for less than $100 per subject..
