I think a large part why 23andMe is so cheap (<$100) is that the worth of your data is planned in, but I haven't seen anything confirming that.

I GREATLY enjoyed Intuitive Biostatistics by Motulsky. It assumes that you're not going to calculate any test statistic on your own, you're going to use Excel, R, or his own software. Therefore the book contains little to no formu
