Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and how these contribute to variation in individuals and populations. Geneticists study the molecular structure of genes, gene regulation, gene “function”, heredity of genes, gene distributions within populations, and the evolution of genes over time (although generally not all at once!). We study the genetics of microorganisms, plants, fungi, and animals. And the advent of numerous novel strategies to investigate DNA in the last 30 years has made this an extremely interesting time to be a geneticist!
