Principles of Genetics and Genomics

Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. Genomics, on the other hand, focuses on the analysis of entire genomes, including genes, their interactions, and functions. The principles of genetics and genomics underpin advancements in fields such as personalized medicine, genetic engineering, and the understanding of inherited diseases. This book introduces the fundamental principles of genetics and genomics, exploring the inheritance of traits and the role of genes in biological processes.
