What does it mean when viruses such as COVID-19 mutate? Do you have mutated genes? Knowledge of genes and genetic variation is increasing at a rapid rate. This series will introduce you to basic genetics, a description of DNA (and viral RNA), what genes do, how humans differ from each other and from other species, and how scientists use genetic information to predict disease risk to study viral transmission and viral mutations. New genetic methods will be described for whole-genome studies, ancestry, evolution, genetic engineering, forensics, and the new mRNA vaccines.
