About

We will be going through some basics of heredity and genetics in four main sections: Mendel's laws/intro to genetics, DNA and its processes, pedigrees, and karyotypes. 

This is meant to be a very basic series, so no prior experience is necessary! I will just be discussing some interesting topics that I've learned. Feel free to join if you're curious about genetics, or if you're just bored and you want to learn something new. :)

I will add office hours and review meetings as necessary.
