I'm actually reading more thoroughly than I'd expected. I finished my undergraduate biochemistry coursework in the mid-aughts, and it turns out a lot has happened since then. Pretty exciting to catch up! This table is very cool, frinstancepic.twitter.com/RAcfMRrDE4
Also interesting side note: genetics strikes me as maybe the most jargon-heavy discipline I know. And most of the jargon is just compression of relatively simple concepts--"varient", "location", "outcome", "one" vs "several" Wonder if this is territory-driven, or inefficient?pic.twitter.com/hVx4IdCOzN
Also interesting and new. Assume this varies quite a lot depending on which two random genotypes are chosen . . . eg, draws from Han vs draws from Indians of different castes (??) Seems like you could fix this with a weighted averagepic.twitter.com/gczcT2Snhp
Three million! Wow. Quite a lot more room for genetic determination than I had expected.pic.twitter.com/wk7ZDUau1M
Made it through the basic review chapters, on to mutation.
