Index of genetics articles

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Index of Genetics Articles is a comprehensive list of articles that pertain to the field of genetics. Genetics is a branch of biology that studies genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The field of genetics is vast and encompasses many sub-disciplines, including molecular genetics, population genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and genetic engineering. Each of these sub-disciplines has its own set of specialized articles that delve into the intricacies of the subject matter.

Molecular Genetics[edit | edit source]

Molecular genetics is the field of biology and genetics that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. This field studies how the genes are transferred from generation to generation.

Population Genetics[edit | edit source]

Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences within and between populations. It is the field of biology that provides a genetic explanation to the adaptation and evolution of species.

Genomics[edit | edit source]

Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of biology focusing on the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes. It involves the sequencing and analysis of an organism's genome.

Epigenetics[edit | edit source]

Epigenetics is the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. It involves the study of the chemical modification of specific genes or gene-associated proteins of an organism.

Genetic Engineering[edit | edit source]

Genetic engineering is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
