Hi there! I'm also a genetics major graduating from college this Sunday!
I would love to know more about the work you've been doing in genetics. What's your PhD research about? Also what's your opinion about working on academia? Any tips for a young geneticist?
I'm currently interning for a pharmaceutical company but I'm not quite sure what I want to do afterwards.
I agree with the person above me who said that you should sequence your entire genome! Even though we don't truly know what non coding DNA does I'm sure that it has a purpose. Especially because I just recently learned in class that you might have a healthy looking genome but mutations in how mRNA splices can cause defects when making proteins.
