Abstract

Molecular genetics is a rapidly evolving field that explores the structure, function, and behavior of genes at a molecular level. It combines principles of genetics with molecular biology to understand how genetic information is transmitted, expressed, and altered within organisms. This article provides a comprehensive overview of molecular genetics, focusing on the techniques used to study genes, the advancements in genetic research, and their implications for disease treatment and prevention. It also examines the current challenges in the field and the potential future directions of genetic research. From next-generation sequencing to CRISPR-Cas9, molecular genetics continues to revolutionize our understanding of hereditary information, providing new insights into genetic disorders, therapies, and personalized medicine.
