Genetic characterization is the process of analyzing and identifying the genetic variation within individuals, populations, or species. This involves studying the genetic sequence, structure, and function of DNA, as well as the patterns of inheritance and evolution of genes. Genetic characterization is used in various fields, such as medicine, agriculture, and conservation biology, to better understand the genetic basis of traits and diseases, improve breeding programs, and monitor the genetic diversity of populations. This research area plays a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of genetics and its applications in different areas of science.
