Genetics research remedied issues of false positives by conducting very large studies, examining the entire genome, and pooling data through meta-analyses.

“they decided to do very large studies to start with they also decided to look at the entire genome look at all the factors rather than one at a time and they also decided to join forces not have each scientist try to publish their results alone but share everything have a common protocol put all the data together to maximize power to maximize standardization to maximize transparency also and then report the cumulative results from the combined data from all the teams that had contributed to these large meta-analysis of primary data”
