Numerous techniques are employed in molecular genetics to analyze and manipulate genetic material. These include:
- PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): A technique to amplify small segments of DNA. - Gel Electrophoresis: Used to separate DNA fragments by size. - DNA Sequencing: Determining the exact sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. - Northern Blotting: Analyzing RNA by hybridization. - Southern Blotting: Detecting specific DNA sequences in DNA samples.
