Genetics

Since reading Dawins's The Selfish Gene when I was about 16 I developed a strong interest in Genetics. This led to me stuyding BSc Zoology & Genetics at The University of Sheffield (sadly they no longer run this excellent complementary dual-honors course) and then for an MSc Genetic Epidemiology, again in Sheffield (I was one of four students who took the course in its first year of running).

Genetics is a huge area, and has many different facets from classical genetics dating back to Gregor Mendel, the neo-Darwinist revolution based on the work of Fisher, Wright and Haldane through to the molecular revolution that ensued from the discovery of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick.

You can also read a lot of Fishers original papers on genetics (and statistics) via the R. A. Fisher Digital Archive
