Kat: Hello, and welcome to Genetics Unzipped - the Genetics Society podcast with me, Dr Kat Arney. In this episode we’re bringing you a selection of our favourite bits from the year so far that you might have missed.

We’re taking a short summer break and will be back again with new episodes from the 12th of September. In the meantime, I’ve picked a few highlights from our earlier episodes that you may have missed. I hope you enjoy listening to them, whether again or for the first time, as much as producer Hannah and I enjoyed making them.

That’s all for now. Next time we’ll be back with new episodes packed with stories from the world of genes, genomes and DNA. You can find us on Twitter @geneticsunzip and please, as always, do take a moment to rate and review Genetics Unzipped on Apple podcasts - it really makes a difference to boost our rankings and help more people discover the show.
