A gene is defined as a sequence of DNA or RNA that encodes a molecule with a specific function. During the process of gene expression, DNA is transcribed into RNA. The inheritance of phenotypic traits is fundamentally based on the transmission of genes to subsequent generations. The study of gene structure and function at the molecular level is conducted within the framework of molecular genetics, a subfield of molecular biology. This discipline examines critical concepts such as heredity, variation, and mutation through the analysis of chromosomes and gene expression. An understanding of gene amplification techniques—particularly the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), molecular cloning, and the separation and detection of DNA and mRNA—is essential for grasping the molecular biology of the gene. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of molecular biology of the gene. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of this field. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike, and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
