Diagnosing Viral Infections: Exploring Molecular Biology Techniques

In summary, molecular biology is a branch of biology that studies the structure and function of biological molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. Some common techniques in this field include PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, and cloning. These techniques are used to better understand the role of biological molecules in cellular processes and to develop treatments for diseases. When using molecular biology techniques, it is important to have proper training, maintain sterile conditions, and follow ethical guidelines for the use of living organisms in research.
