With the completion of the Human Genome Project and the development of a wide range of effective and economical techniques for the analysis of genetic material it is likely that we will see an explosion of papers linking psychological phenomena to genetics. In order to evaluate this research we need to educate ourselves about all relevant aspects of genetics.

Here we are gathering the basic material together. In the long run we hope to construct CPD courses and to provide a basic framework so that we can keep abreast of new developments.
