A.G. Scientific: A leader in molecular biology
The fascinating field of molecular biology aims to understand the relationships between and regulation of different systems in a cell. Molecular biology is closely tied to the fields of biochemistry and genetics, and these fields share many techniques, approaches, and imminent goals. Molecular biology procedures are powerful tools used to copy DNA, identify which molecules are present in a sample, discover when and why a particular gene will be expressed, and more. Applications of molecular biology extend from biophysics to evolution, virology to neuroscience, and computation/modeling to cancer.
