Fundamental concepts in genetics
Our understanding of heredity and the practice of genetic analysis are underpinned by certain fundamental concepts. Each article in this series examines one of these concepts, explaining how it works, how it has contributed to genetics and why it is of continuing importance today. The articles are designed both as an introduction to the concept and an analysis of the latest developments.
