About

Hi everyone! In this series, we'll review some Mendelian and Non-Mendelian genetics before moving onto studying epigenetic mechanisms - how our behaviors and environments can affect our gene expression. Some experience with basic biology be helpful, but definitely not required. I will add more sessions once enough people join the series.
