Genetics questions? Post here!

Some of you may know that I am a research scientist by day and my background is in genetics. I know there is already a genetics tutorial, but I am working on a different kind of genetics tutorial on the premise that it is helpful to those learning genetics for the fist time to see concepts explained in more than one way. It will start at the DNA level and move upwards, so it will have more advanced topics, but everything should be understandable to the layperson. It will not only explain the rules of genetics, but WHY things work the way they do, so that the reader has a more conceptual understanding. It is easier to remember facts when you have a conceptual foundation to fit them into.

If you have any question about genetics, feel free to post them here. No question is a dumb question! I can answer them and keep them in mind as I continue to write my genetics guide, so that I can focus more on areas where people struggle or have misunderstandings.

Thanks!

I can't think of any questions right now, but I find genetics fascinating and I'm very interested to see what you write up.

I'm currently back in school for a BS in biology. My obsession with corn morphs has gotten me thinking about genetics for grad school, but I don't know what job opportunities I might have then. My fear is that I'd be stuck in the most boring research gig and lose all passion for the field. Do you have any advice for me?

I'd be happy to. I am a tad busy today but I will send you a PM with my thoughts sometime this week.

I wrote this post about possible genetic linkage between lava and charcoal. Don't worry...my genetics tutorial will be much easier to understand than this! And after it, this should make sense!

What is the current understanding with sex linkage to the Cinder gene? I was following along and enjoying the discussion on that but then fell way behind and have not been able to clear enough time to dive back in.

It's funny you mention that. I will be getting lots of data from cinder crosses sent to me next week, from het cinder females that produce only male cinders, and from het cinder females that produce both male and female cinders.
