Buccal swab

Buccal swabs are collections of buccal cell scrapings obtained by rubbing buds along the inside of the mouth.

Protocols for obtaining buccal swabs in the NTR have been published online (https://www.action-euproject.eu/content/data-protocols). Besides the buccal collection in the projects included in this repository, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, YNTR twins, their parents, and siblings were continiously approached for buccal swab collection. Thus, buccal samples and the resulting zygosity testing (twins) and genotyping is available for an ever increasing number of participants.
