This looks like a very fun thing to get into, and I love the idea of being able to help in this new (for me) field. However, thumbing through the issues listed in the GH repo leaves me realizing that there is a bunch of terminology that I would need to catch up on (15% of the stuff feels familiar). Any pointers on what stuff I could read / study that would serve as a nice primer into the terms and ideas being coded and modeled?

Could you leave us a git issue on terminology you don't understand? We've tried to make the documentation in the code to make it clearer to non-biologists what is going on (for example, https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly/blob/prime/seqhash/seq...), but we're honestly too deep to really understand what is not known and how to explain nicely what is going on. If you could help us with asking naive questions that'd help us write a nice primer (which is very useful, since we'd like to recruit more software engineers rather than biologists).
