Several techniques are essential to genetic research, including:
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): Amplifies specific DNA sequences for further analysis. CRISPR-Cas9: A powerful tool for precise genome editing, allowing scientists to add, remove, or modify genetic material. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Enables rapid sequencing of entire genomes, providing comprehensive genetic data. Gene Expression Profiling: Measures the activity of thousands of genes simultaneously to understand their roles and interactions.
