Molecular Tools

Molecular tools are techniques used by scientists to study and manipulate molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins. These tools allow researchers to identify, analyze, and alter genetic information, helping in fields such as medicine, genetics, and biotechnology. Examples include PCR, which amplifies small amounts of DNA for study, and CRISPR, a technology that can precisely edit genes. These tools enable scientists to understand biological processes at a molecular level, develop new treatments, and improve crops, advancing our ability to address health issues and improve quality of life.
