Nucleic acids research

Nucleic acids research focuses on studying the molecules that carry genetic information in living organisms, specifically DNA and RNA. DNA stores the genetic blueprint for development and functioning, while RNA plays a crucial role in translating this information into proteins, which perform various functions in the body. Researchers explore how these molecules work, their roles in heredity, cellular processes, and their implications in health and disease. This field is vital for advancements in genetics, biotechnology, and medicine, including developments in gene therapy and personalized medicine.
