Why You Should Learn Genetics? A Guide for every life science student

Hello 

Today's newsletter is all about why you should have to learn genetics. 

We will comprehensively understand the importance of genetics not only for biotechnology/genetics students but also for all life sciences aspirants. 

Genetics is the study of DNA, RNA, chromosomes and genome. 

DNA is the predominant biomolecule present in all the live forms on the earth, as it is present in the nucleus and is an acid, it is known as nucleic acid. DNA's fundamental role is to store, express and inherit information from one generation to another. 

For instance, 

Bacteria develop, express and inherit a new antibiotic-resistant gene. 

A plant develops, expresses and inherits a new drought-resistant gene. 

An individual expresses and inherits an eye color or blood typing gene. 

You got my point, Right? 

So, now it is undoubtedly clear, you need to know and learn about DNA, irrespective of your life science field.

What I'm trying to say is, "If you are dealing with a life/organism/cells, you must have to learn about the DNA." 

I know the fact that genetics, indeed, is a huge and difficult subject. But you can start with the basics and apply them in your field or research. 

For instance, if you culture the microbe for identification and classification, you can switch to 16S rRNA gene sequencing which will provide better and more accurate results. 

Interestingly, if you include such data in your research paper or thesis, it will highly increase the chances of acceptance and publication in peer-reviewed and reputed journals. That's my guarantee.

The majority of you are enrolled in our free weekly classes and if not, you can join by clicking this link. Here, we cover basic topics in genetics every week. 

 In conclusion, Genetics isn’t just a subject; it’s the foundation of understanding life itself. 

As a life sciences student, learning genetics can transform your career and open doors to exciting opportunities. 

Trust me, the future of Genetics + (your specialization) is beyond your imagination. I hope you enjoyed this newsletter.
