There have been a lot of lectures that touch on genes, genomes, DNA, ...etc. I thought the non-biologists might be interested in a little bit of background on molecular biology, focusing on genetics. It'd be nice to keep things informal, but basic topics I think would be helpful are:
- classical genetics and mapping (genetics before we knew about DNA)
- gene expression (and how it's regulated)
- difference between genetic networks and biochemical networks
- epigenetics, relating to Lamarkian evolution and stem cells
It could be a simple cartoon format tutorial or just be a discussion. Anybody interested? - Will L.
