Cyrus, you are registered both in Genetics of Obesity, and Stress and Appetite, please choose just one of these topics. Thanks. Nancy Sabatier 09:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Good to see you starting: suggest you use the bibliography subpage to place your references and the external links page to post any websites and other material.
- It's a large group and you will need to think about how to divide the scope; broadly you could split between population genetics and molecular genetics - population genetics - Pima Indians, polynesian populations, heritability, twin studies, thrifty gene hypothesis; molecular genetics - O'Rahilly etc, and could extend to animal studies.Gareth Leng 10:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
