Genetic mechanisms refer to the processes by which genetic information is encoded, transmitted, and expressed in living organisms. This field of research focuses on understanding how genes control various biological processes, such as growth, development, and disease susceptibility. Researchers study genetic mechanisms at multiple levels, including the molecular and cellular levels, to gain insights into how genes are regulated, how genetic variations influence traits and diseases, and how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next. By uncovering the underlying genetic mechanisms behind certain traits or diseases, researchers can develop new treatments, therapies, and diagnostic tools to improve human health and well-being. This area of research is interdisciplinary, drawing on knowledge and techniques from genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and other related fields.
