With the revolutionary explosion in genetic information discovery, it is crucially important to recognize the underlying limitations of scientific prediction in genetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenetics and Randomness\u003c\/strong\u003e furthers the understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological processes.
