This is a photo from the talk I gave yesterday at Google to kick of our US intelligence GWAS. See www.cog-genomics.org for more information. If you're having any problems with the site, especially the participant registration, please let us know. We've received a great deal of feedback just in the last 48 hours about the study, so please be patient if you sent me a message.
There were a lot of good questions from the audience at the talk. I only had an hour so I had to go through the slides rather quickly. People seemed quite enthusiastic about the project :-)
I wonder if the cut off scores are Steve's scores.
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if I sent in my dog's saliva? Someone should do this just to keep them honest.
I wonder how many people at El Goog thought to themselves, "I'm not going to make a positive contribution to that study."
ReplyDeleteYou might find that your dog is a super genius!
ReplyDeleteThere would be no matches on a chip for most SNPs and it will be concluded that the sample is garbage (degraded DNA, insufficient quantities, severe contamination or indeed different species).
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how long it takes for the videos to reach YouTube? s?
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be some variation--of the last two videos posted on @Google Talks as I write this, one was from within the past few days and the other was from a month and a half ago. We're obviously hoping for the former case...
