Genetics
There is no formal biology or genetics prerequisite for this course. I’ll do my best to explain any such concepts as they come up. Here are some additional resources that I recommend:
- Ken Burns presents “The Gene An Intimate History” (documentary): link
- “A Brief Guide to Genomics” (web resource prepared by the National Human Genome Research Institute): link
- “Genetics Basics: Six Things You Should Know” (web resource prepared by the American Society of Human Genetics): link
- “Building Blocks of Your Genetic Code” (animated video from the American Society of Human Genetics): link
- “Talking Glossary of Genomic and Genetic Terms” (resource page prepared by the National Human Genome Research Institute): link
- The Gene Explained (video series and supplemental resource to the Ken Burns documentary linked above): link
Note
If you come across any other resources throughout the semester that you find helpful for understanding genetics concepts, please share them with me!
