Molecular genetics

Abstract

Molecular genetics, is the study of the biochemical mechanisms of It is the study of the biochemical nature of the genetic material and it’s control of phenotype. It is the study of the connection between genotype and phenotype the connection was a chemical one. Molecular genetics often applies an "investigative approach" to determine the structure and function of genes in an organism's genome using genetic screens. Molecular genetics is a powerful methodology for linking mutations to genetic conditions that may aid the search for treatments for various genetics diseases. This field has provided insights into various biological processes, including gene regulation, heredity, evolution, and disease development. Molecular genetics techniques, such as PCR, DNA sequencing, and gene editing, have revolutionized our ability to manipulate and study genes. The integration of molecular genetics with other disciplines, like genomics and proteomics, has paved the way for advancements in personalized medicine and biotechnology .It involves analyzing the DNA and RNA molecules to understand how genetic information is stored, replicated, and expressed.
