DNA Analysis 101: The Basics of Genetic Mischief

Genetic analysis is like trying to solve a mystery, but the clues are in tiny letters and you can't quite remember what they're saying.

Here's what you need to know:

  1. Chromosomes are like the ultimate game of Twister: 23 pairs of twisty!
  2. Nucleotides are like Legos, but they're not as fun to play with.
  3. Genetic drift is like trying to find the missing sock: you know it's around here somewhere, but you can't quite locate it.
  4. Gene expression is like a bad 80s music festival: it's all about the drama and the flair.

Now that we've covered the basics, let's move on to some more advanced topics. Visit our subpages for more information:
