Genetics & Genomics

Genetics & genomics explores how traits are inherited, how genes work, and how DNA shapes living organisms. This subject addresses molecular genetics, the structure and function of genes, and the advances in technologies that allow the mapping and manipulation of genetic material. Readers in this field gain foundational knowledge relevant to biology, medicine, and biotechnology research.

To focus your study within genetics & genomics, consider narrowing by research method, organism, or specific area such as human genomics, evolutionary genetics, or gene therapy. This category is located within Life Sciences and differs from broader biology by concentrating on genetic material and its influence on development, health, and diversity across species.
