And about being the recipient of an unusual genetic gift - less than 2% are so endowed, and within that number there are more than forty different variants.
(As a eighteen year old or thereabouts, together with a couple of friends, I tried to ditch attending a seminar - 'Black, White and Khaki' - that the entire student population of the community college was expected to sit through. We were discovered and ushered into the assembly hall, where the seats had all been taken, save for three right in the very center of the first row. After delivering his talk, the presenter asked if there were any questions and, as he hadn't mentioned we of the carrot-topped persuasion, I raised my hand to ask about gingers... and was then treated to a very detailed twenty minute explanation of why and in what ways I and my people were genetic mutations as I shrank lower and lower in my seat, feeling on the back of my head the searing gaze of every single one of the hundreds of eyeballs all looking at me. Did I feel special!)

I’m a redhead/ginger too. With blue eyes. Plus I’m left handed. I won the recessive gene bonanza. It anyone’s gonna stick out in a crowd, it’ll be me. I feel your pain.
That's tough. I know nothing about gene pathology and gene chemistry. I guess for starters, we can say that the different possible combinations of A,C,T,and G, with at least one nucleotide forms irreducible compounds with irreducible properties. However, I don't have a single clue where to look up this information.
As for chromosome 16, it appears to be a very sensitive chromosome. Just look here:

Posted by AmelieMatisseMy latest read. I really though I was well informed about this era. Sadly I was not.
Posted by AmelieMatisseI went to a lecture by author Richard Rothstein. If you are interested in learning how our government segregated this country, you will find this book fascinating

Posted by snytiger6With the current trend of the far right moving into the forefront of many countries aroudn the world, perhaps it is time for people to rediscover the book "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis.
Posted by AmelieMatisseAnyone who is an art lover will enjoy this book. And if you are anywhere near Baltimore MD a trip to the Baltimore Museum will get you the chance to see the Cone sisters amazing collection for free
Posted by AmelieMatisseJust finished a biography on Frederick Douglass and this seemed like a good followup.
Posted by GuyKeithAnyone here like Joseph Heller? You may be familiar with Catch-22, but have you read his other books, especially Something Happened? If anyone has read it, let me know. I would like to discuss it.
Posted by ninjarider1Well, one can always hope!
Posted by ninjarider1I "check out" when I read!
Posted by ninjarider1Twenty five percent? I'd say more than that!
