I thought I'd post the link to the Genetics Otago blog that has been recently activated. I'm a contributor, so rather than copy my work from the GO blog you can read it there. My piece is about the Neandertal genome - it starts off with a little fiction to get you warmed up :)

Feel free to leave comments and let me know if there is anything genetics you want to know more about. :)
