Track 4: Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology may be a vast topic which deals with the structure and performance of macromolecules. It’s usually combined with techniques of Genetics and Biochemistry. Till 2000, genetics was the sub-field of biology. Since biology is usually quantitative it’s in edge with computational biology and bioinformatics. Other zones of Biology focus directly or indirectly on molecules, whereas developmental biology and cell biology focus directly, while phylogenetic and evolutionary biology focus indirectly. Genetics deals with study of mutants and its comparison with the wild type (normal phenotype).
