What is this site – who created it – why should you trust it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetics Simplified contains videos explaining key concepts of genetics. It is made for advanced high school students, university students in introductory biology or genetics classes and anyone interested in genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos included on this site have been created by University of Michigan<\/a> students taking a genetics (Biology 305) class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The videos have been carefully vetted for quality and accuracy by the Biology 305 instructional team:
Dr. Hilary Archbold, Lecturer IV
Dr. Andr\u00e9 Green II, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (learn more<\/a>)
Dr. Andrzej Wierzbicki, Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (learn more<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With comments and questions about this site contact Andrzej Wierzbicki (wierzbic@umich.edu). Note that most videos contain machine-generated captions, which may contain minor errors. All videos have been posted with the author’s permission and remain the property of the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Genetics Simplified site is still in development. More videos will be added as soon as they are available. Less than one in ten student-submitted videos is being selected for inclusion in this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
