This is an open source, open educational resource (OER) laboratory manual that I am developing for the SCI200 Genetics course at Roxbury Community College in Boston, Massachusetts. This introductory course provides an introduction to the principles of genetics and its applications with a focus on the molecular basis of heredity and the role of genes and genomes in health and disease, development and evolution.
I am developing this manual as free software but license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported United States License because I love Wikipedia from which I have heavily borrowed.
On the technology side, I got started by cloning Yihui Xie's rstudio/bookdown site. I discovered bookdown because after reading Garrett Grolemund's and Hadley Wickham's R for Data Science book, which is a pleasure to read on any screen including the mobile phone.
The current current version of this manual is available here. ePub and PDF versions can be downloaded by clicking on the download link in the navigation toolbar at the top of each page.
