Molecular Biology

Molecular biology is the study of biology at the molecular level.
The field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry.

Relates molecular biology itself mainly to understand the interactions between different cell systems, including the relationship of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and learning how these interactions are regulated. Researchers in molecular biology use specific techniques of molecular biology, but increasingly combination of techniques and ideas from genetics and biochemistry.

There is no hard line between these disciplines, as it once was.

Molecular biology is the study of molecular processes of replication, transcription and translation of genetic material.

The central dogma of molecular biology where genetic material is converted into RNA and then translated into protein, despite the fact that a simplistic image of molecular biology, still a good basis for understanding the field.

Most work in molecular biology is quantitative, and recently much work has been done on the interface of molecular biology and computer science in bioinformatics and computational biology.

Since the early 2000s, the study of structure and function of genes, molecular genetics, was one of the most important sub-field of molecular biology ..
