Collaborative study on the genetics of alcoholism: The strength of collaboration, team science, and longitudinal data

Abstract This issue contains a series of articles describing the various resources, studies, results, and future directions for collaborative study on genetics alcoholism (COGA). The integrative approach initiated by this group ~30 years ago serves as an excellent example strength team science. Individually, aspects COGA would be limited in their impact toward improved understanding alcohol use disorder. Collectively, wholistic which spans deep longitudinal phenotypic assessments families to include application large‐scale omics technologies cell‐culture based molecular studies has demonstrated power working together.
