Biogenetics

Biogenetics is the study of genetics and biotechnology used to develop and modify living organisms. It combines the fields of biochemistry and genetics to create new applications for living organisms, including creating new crops and improving animal feed, as well as developing treatments for genetic diseases. Biogenetics also has the potential to improve lives through gene therapy and personalized medicine, in which treatments are tailored to an individual’s genetic makeup. By using biogenetics, scientists are able to improve the quality of life for people with disease, reduce the cost and availability of food, and make the world a more sustainable place.
