I wanted to call this episode "Genes, Genes, What Do They Means?" But I'm keeping it serious. Well, serious-ish. This is a quick and dirty explanation of what DNA is, what genes do, and how chromosomes work—with a bit about how rare chromosome disorders can occur and specifically, what Avery's rare chromosome deletion and duplication syndrome looks like. 

Full Disclosure. I am not a scientist. Or as I said in the episode... "science tits." LOL!
