Molecular Genetics
Molecular Genetics: is the field of biology that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, simultaneously using both molecular biology and genetics. This typically refers to the laboratory techniques used to identify or manipulate DNA segments that are involved in synthesis of important biological molecules.
