Genetics Research

Genetics is concerned with the nature of the genetic material, its replication, transmission, organisation, expression and its role in development, behaviour, ecology and evolution. The genetic information controls the development, behaviour and reproduction of all biological organisms. Variation in this genetic information underpins biological evolution and heredity including the inheritance of genetic disease. Consequently, Genetics is a unifying discipline of biology because genes are the principal determinants of all life processes.
