About this website

How this site is structured

​

I really want to create resources for everyone with an interest in genetics, and make them all as accessible as possible. As such, I've divided my posts into three categories: explainers, trends, and research.

 

Explainers aim to explain some of the most fundamental concepts in genetics. These aren't prerequisites for understanding any of the more cutting edge stuff, but having a deeper understanding of how things in genetics work will probably deepen your appreciation of the modern research as well.

​

Trends are posts I've written based on new review articles I've found. Review articles aren't research in and of themselves, they tend to be papers written by academics which collate a large body of research in one area and present its themes to an academic audience. As a student and a reader, I love review articles, but here I will try and communicate some of their key ideas without the need for the reader to be an expert (or even a student) in the field.

​

Research posts are posts I've written based on cutting edge research in genetics. Simple as that. Naturally the research articles in leading academic journals are also written for a largely scientific audience, so I'll be doing my best to make these comprehensible to the general public.

​

And that's it!

 

I hope you're able to use the resources I provide to deepen your own understanding of modern genetic science, how it's impacting our world, and how this impact will continue and develop into the future. Enjoy!
