As a software developer who spent nearly 10 years founding and building a genomic startup, this is a good start, but does have a lot of vast oversimplifications and a few inaccuracies. The people making this know what they're doing, so I'm sure these are known shortcomings they likely deemed necessary for a quick introduction. You'd need a further study at the end to start being able to do some real-world work.

What was your reading list ? I plan to add more medical / genomic knowledge to my skillset.
The definition of haplotypes is definitely incorrect am I misunderstanding anything?
How is the definition incorrect? I know haplotype as all the genomic variation on a single gene. And since every gene comes in two copies, two haplotypes define one diplotype.
