Geneticists are scientists who study genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. They explore how traits are passed from one generation to another and how genetic information influences the development and functioning of organisms. Their work can involve analyzing DNA, conducting experiments, and using various technologies to understand genetic disorders and traits. These professionals often work in laboratories, universities, or research institutions. They may collaborate with other scientists, such as biologists and medical researchers, to advance knowledge in fields like genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Their research can lead to important discoveries in medicine, agriculture, and conservation.
