What is another word for genetic science?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒɛnˈɛtɪk sˈa͡ɪ͡əns] (IPA) 
Genetic science is a multidisciplinary field that studies the molecular structure, function and regulation of genes, and their impact on physical and behavioral traits. Synonyms for genetic science include genetics, gene science, genomics, genetic engineering, molecular biology, bioinformatics and population genetics. Genetics focuses on identifying heritable traits and quantitative genetics focuses on measuring and predicting their expression. Genomics is the study of genes on a whole-genome level, encompassing gene mapping, sequencing and expression analysis. Genetic engineering involves modifying and manipulating DNA to produce desired traits or correct genetic disorders. Molecular biology employs advanced techniques to examine the structure and function of molecules involved in genetic processes. Bioinformatics is the application of computer science to analyze and interpret genetic data. Population genetics examines the genetic variation within and between populations of organisms.
