Genetics is a rapidly evolving field with numerous areas of active research, including:
- Genomics: Studying the entire genome of an organism to understand its genetic makeup and functions.
- Epigenetics: Investigating how environmental factors can influence gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
- Genetic engineering: Developing techniques to modify genes for therapeutic or other purposes.
- Personalized medicine: Tailoring medical treatments to an individual’s genetic makeup.
- Genetic testing: Developing new and more efficient methods for genetic testing.
- Genetic counseling: Improving genetic counseling services to support individuals and families affected by genetic diseases.
