The genetics you never knew: a genetics primer.
Our understanding about genetics is rapidly changing. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the basics of and new developments in medical genetics--a Genetics 101 primer for 2008. In this article we review the structure and function of the genes, how genes are packaged, gene replication, gene mutations, and the different modes of inheritance.
