The non-associative algebras arising in genetics (1), are rather isolated from other branches of non-associative algebra (6). However, in a paper (5), in which he studied these algebras in terms of their transformation algebras, Schafer proved that the gametic and zygotic algebras for a single diploid locus are Jordan algebras.
