Genes and Related Concepts: Understanding DNA, RNA, and Genome Editing

Genes and Related Concepts: Understanding DNA, RNA, and Genome Editing Introduction The field of genetics has transformed our understanding of life at the molecular level. From decoding the human genome to genome editing, advancements in genetic research have led to groundbreaking innovations in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Genes, the fundamental units of heredity, are composed of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) , which contains instructions essential for the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms. Alongside DNA, Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene expression. With cutting-edge technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 , genome sequencing , and gene editing , scientists can now manipulate genetic material to treat diseases, improve agricultural productivity, and enhance personalized medicine. This blog explores the essential concepts of genes, DNA, RNA, genome editing, and their applications, incorporating trending keywords...
