+\section{Introduction to Genomics}
+\subsection{What is DNA?}
+% first concepts to define: DNA, gene, expression
+% what genes do
+
+\subsection{Common Misconceptions}
+
+DNA does not define everything about you.
+- which genes are "turned on/off"
+- different upbringings and environments
+
+
+\subsection{(Define Jargon) Genomic Variation}
+
+\subsection{Why study Genomic Variation?}
+- Important for health and precision medicine
+- Catalogs different ways in which people's genomes are healthy.
+- When looking for disease-related genomic variants, we can use this information to rule out healthy variants.
+
+\subsection{Natural Selection}
+
+Thus, a variant that occurs naturally in a population likely doesn't cause disease symptoms.
+
+\subsection{(Define Jargon) SNPs}
+Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
+poly- many
+morph - 
+Why SNP data ?
+
+\subsection{Data (vcf file)}
