🌈👁️ Ever Wondered Why Your Eyes Are a Certain Color?
Eye color is all about genes working together! 🧬 Brown: Dominant OCA2 gene = high melanin.
Blue: HERC2 gene variation reduces melanin.
Green/Hazel: Moderate melanin + unique gene combos!
From deep brown to vibrant green, genetic magic creates unique shades! ✨ #Genetics
Codetta Program Deciphers Genetic Code in 250,000 Genomes | HHMI
Codetta, a new computational method for predicting genetic codes, could reveal insights into how some organisms have modified a code once thought to be universal.
Compare and Contrast Map of Genetic Information Flow Between Humans and Bacteria
Genetic information is a vital part of existence. It dictates an organism's traits and it gets passed to the next generation. But what are the differences and similarities between the genetic information flow between humans and bacteria? How similar are we with our microscopic co-inhabitants? Check out this compare and contrast map to see 🧬✨
This picture shows the organization of chromatin including DNA's double helix structure and how DNA winds around core particles to form nucleosomes. From there, the DNA continues to wind upon its self until a chromosome is created. The function of genes in DNA is to code for the creation of proteins to be used in the body. A genome is all the genes one person has. For example, the human genome is approx. 30-35,000 genes. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).

Genome mapping is used to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. Genome mapping provided a critical starting point for the Human Genome Project.
In General Biology, we've been learning genetics! We've studied both gene and chromosomal mutations. In this project, students could create their own mutations following a specific set of criteria. Level 2 student, Daphne, created such a colorful and easy to follow chart for her substitution, insertion, and deletion mutations! I love watching students not only grasp difficult concepts, but truly understand them and be able to manipulate those concepts on their own!
The continuity of life is the result of storage, replication, and transcription of genetic code, from one generation of life forms to the other, in the form of DNA, and RNA in some cases. The subject of this article is the codon translation chart, which is an important piece of reference, to understand DNA transcription, as well as creation of the 20 amino acids.

Difference Between Genetics Vs Genomics – Genetic Education
“The study of genes, inheritance and their role in disease development are termed as genetics, while the study of the entire genome and its interaction with the environment is termed […]
After the course: Tales from the Genome, Introduction to Genetics & A Few Resources
Now that I’ve finished the Tales from the Genome, Introduction to Genetics course, I’d like to note some of the related resources (some of the links are related to 23andMe.com, a compan…
Chromosome 17 is just one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes that makeup the human body. It spans more than 83 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 2.5 and 3% of the total DNA in all cells. NF1 is a microdeletion syndrome caused by the mutation of a gene located on chromosomal segment 17q11.2.
