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. This is an eight lesson course that should provide you with a strong foundation for intensive genetic and epigenetic research.
