Gizmodo - 10 New Genetic Discoveries - And The Diseases They Could Treat
For years, scientists have recognized that many of the world's most dangerous diseases have an underlying genetic component. Even your susceptibility to conditions like heart disease and lung cancer, diseases closely tied to lifestyle factors like smoking and lack of exercise, are believed to be heavily influenced by your genetic makeup.

Dartmouth - Genetics: Past, Present, and Future
Genetics is the study of heredity and the variation of inherited elements known as genes. Although scientists have long known that an offspringâÂÂs traits come from its parents, the findings of Darwin and Mendel have really allowed scientists to begin to understand how and why genetic variation occurs.

What Is Genetics? - News-Medical
Genetics is the study of heredity. Heredity is a biological process where a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents and these genes in turn express specific traits.

How Genes Work - Genetics Home Reference
Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each protein's unique 3-dimensional structure and its specific function.

How Do Genes Work? - Understanding Genetics
Genes are often called the blueprint for life, because they tell each of your cells what to do and when to do it: be a muscle, make bone, carry nerve signals, and so on. And how do genes orchestrate all this? They make proteins. In fact, each gene is really just a recipe for a making a certain protein.

What Is a Gene? - Understanding Genetics
Look closely at the chromosomes and you'd see that each is made of bundles of looping coils. If you unraveled these coils, you'd have a six-foot long double strand of deoxyribonucleic acid-DNA.
