Genetic epidemiologyin general, andgenome-wide association studiesin particular, require large samples of hundreds or thousands of participants, so I wouldn't call either of thempersonalgenomics.Qwfp(talk)19:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are totally correct - I would say that personal genomics is a facet of those things and not vice versa. My thought was that all of the advancement in interpreting data from personal genomics comes from research in genetic epidemiology and GWASs, so personal genomics is a side effect of advancement in those fields. If you have any suggestions about how to better list the topics which one ought to understand to understand personal genomics, I would appreciate your feedback. How do you feel about my putting this template on those articles?Blue Rasberry(talk)19:50, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
