Category talk:Genetics

Comment

I have split out many of the articles into one of the subcategories, Category:Classical genetics or Category:Molecular genetics. My rationale for the split is this: if the article clearly refers to techniques or concepts well developed before the discovery of the structure of DNA, then it should be in the former (e.g. Mendelian inheritance), if it is a technique or concept that was primarily developed after, then it goes in the latter (e.g. transgenic or reverse genetics). For concepts that are not unambiguously assignable to either category, or generalize across both fields, or overview articles involving both classical and molecular techniques/concepts/traditions (e.g cytogenetics and epigenetics) then leave it in the the current category Category:Genetics. --Lexor|Talk 07:00, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

After reading the above, I don't understand why neither gene expression or epigenetics are listed as pages in the Genetics category - D.White

Inbreeding

I included this page, but I am well out of my area here. I read the Inbreeding page and think that it needs work and placed it here in the hope that someone qualified would give it some attention.--Counsel 20:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
