A good introduction to Genetics

[end3r7]

I'm going to study genetics in college next year, and I was hoping I could get a head start.

I have looked at many books such as the Cartoon Guide to Genetics, Schaum's Outline Of Genetics, Genetics for Dummies, etc. But I was afriad of some of these books being either too advanced or too shallow...

...

Well, this is you all's cue. :tongue2:

I was told that Schaum's Outline of Genetics is nto good for learning... but if I have a decent understanding, will I be able to somewhat increase/solidify my knowledge?

As a fellow scientist and geneticist, I can assure you that studying genetics is an exciting and constantly evolving field. It is great to see your enthusiasm and desire to get a head start on your studies. It is important to start with a good foundation, and I commend you for researching various resources. I would suggest starting with a textbook that covers the basic principles of genetics, such as "Introduction to Genetic Analysis" by Griffiths et al. This will provide you with a solid understanding of the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics. Additionally, make use of online resources such as Khan Academy or Coursera to supplement your learning. Lastly, don't be afraid to ask questions and seek guidance from your professors and peers. Best of luck in your studies!
