I have a very good new way of calculation of Mendelian genetics crossing. we all study punnet square and finding phenotypes through it at school and exists in all genetics textbooks. Do you think finding a new way for finding phenotype easier without punnet square? and be more mathematics that can be applied for bioinformatics. but first I need to know if that old fashion Mendelian genetics crossing is still be valuable or not.
please give your professional opinion. thanks.
Punnet squares are pretty easy already.... how much easier can you make it?
well, that is the point. mine is also easy but differs from PS and uses digit 0,1 to generate the number of phenotypes in a crossing example.
and if we investigate more on it, we might see how cool it is especially if we do example instead of simple one like AaBb X AAbb we use much complex one like AaBbCCddEeHh X aaBbCcDDEehh and so on. and more especially we might need such method to use it for computational method not paper and table.
Well, every method is usefull in its spetial context. Punnet squares is very usefull for teaching, I've tryed several graphical options at secondary school and punnet square gave me the best results. Teenagers got it easily. But for bioinfomatics calculation always could be a better way if you work in that subject (I don't... :-( )...and if it is easier and uses PC and a software friendly to manage, also can be use for schools that have computers access (not al in my country)...So, I agree with Ethel...go for it!! and let as know! Good luck.
Please check out binomial theorem and series, algebra 1.0.1. Thats how large sets of alleles become possible for calculation. By calculating probability of events with algebra.
well guys I might make the calculation public here soon. and you can also decide on that. but I am afraid it would be quite useful and after that I will not have right for it as I dont have it now.
