title: Genetic research on complex behaviors: an examination of attempts to identify genes for smoking.
abstract: A conference on the conduct of genomic research on complex behaviors was convened at the University of Michigan to demystify genetic research by describing the tools and methodologies for identifying genes and to assess the feasibility of conducting genomic research on smoking, a complex behavior with major public health import. These proceedings are excerpts based on the presentations at the conference.
