Today we covered most of chapter 4.
The main topic we covered was non-coding DNA. We talked about interspersed elements (LINEs, which are moderately repetitive, and SINEs, which are highly repetitive), and tandem repeats (satellites, minisatellites [or VNTRs], and microsatellites [or STRs]). We also talked about junk and selfish DNA, palindromes, hairpins, and stems and loops.
