Key objectives include:
1. Understanding Heredity
- Explore how genetic information is transmitted from parents to offspring.
- Investigate the principles of inheritance, including Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics.
2. Study of Genetic Variation
- Analyze the differences in genetic makeup among individuals and populations.
- Understand the sources of genetic variation, such as mutations, recombination, and gene flow.
3. Elucidating Gene Function
- Determine the roles of specific genes in biological processes.
- Understand how genes are regulated and expressed in different cells and environments.
4. Decoding Genomes
- Map and sequence entire genomes to identify genes and regulatory elements.
- Study genome organization and evolution across species.
5. Understanding Genetic Diseases
- Identify genetic mutations and their associations with diseases.
- Develop diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches for genetic disorders.
6. Improving Agriculture
- Develop genetically improved crop varieties and livestock with desirable traits such as disease resistance, higher yield, and adaptability to environmental stress.
- Study the genetics of pest resistance and biodiversity conservation.
7. Advancing Biotechnology
- Utilize genetic knowledge in applications such as genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and cloning.
- Develop technologies like CRISPR for gene editing and therapeutic interventions.
