This is fascinating, thank you! I’ve been missing more in depth genetics discussion in my life. My genetics research experience is from 20 years ago working in various labs as a summer research student. The cost of large/genome scale sequencing was just starting to come down to back then to make stuff like this possible. I spent the video thinking in my head about the specifics of what you might be doing in a lab for these tests. Do you design primers? Do you use q-PCR to differentiate between homo and heterozygous? I want to know more. I will go explore your channel.
Can't wait for the corn snake morph tests... sent a ton of samples in an envelope last week and an email yesterday regarding it. I hope you got it and its helpful! P.S. desperately hoping for lava and charcoal tests 🤞🤞🤞 could shave YEARS off of one of my projects!
I really love all this information, and how you explain it to people. It makes me really miss college, and bummed I'm disabled and cant work. I wish there were more ways to get involved besides sending in sheds and talking to others to send in info!
We will have more coming in 2025 that you may find interesting and be able to be a part of! I know it seems like it is taking forever…but soon we will be able to announce several new things, and I believe it will give you more to be a part of!!!
How is AI impacting this process? Is it incorporated in the software? It seems it should reduce some of the difficulty by recognizing patterns more easily.

I am dumb as rocks but I love learning about this stuff.
We are glad you find it helpful!!! 🤘🤘🙌

We did get the sheds, thanks so much!!! And we will be making progress on other species, including corn snakes, very soon! 🙏🙌
Thanks for the updates
You bet!!!

@raregeneticsinc I'm looking forward to it! Time can just skip forward a few weeks at this point please!
What a lovely feminine figure you have Ben 😂! I really enjoyed this video, thank you guys for all of your hard work!
😂🙏 and glad you enjoyed the show!!!

No doubt AI will play a big part at some point! We don’t use it yet, but there for sure is a good chance AI will be able to help!!!
Will tests for Leopard Geckos be available?
Yes! We are starting to work on other species now, and we expect to get some in leopard geckos hopefully sometime in 2025!
