Basics of Genetics

The esteemed ScienceBlogs network and other science bloggers are having a basic concepts series. Here are those posted so far related to genetics:

• Sandra Porter is covering the basics of genome sequencing at Discovering Biology in a Digital World. Here are part 1 and part 2.
• Razib at Gene Expression discusses linkage disequilibrium.
• PZ Myers at Pharyngula explains a gene. He also recommends Modern Genetic Analysis: Integrating Genes and Genomes.
• Larry Moran at Sandwalk talks about The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. (He took offense at my use of it as a theme for Mendel’s Garden #2.)

And don’t forget my genetics quizzes. Sure to keep you on your toes!
