Molecular GeneticsA major strength of the NYU Biology Department is a focus on molecular genetic approaches to attack a wide variety of biological problems. Almost every laboratory uses state of the art molecular techniques to analyze and manipulate DNA and protein structure. Also there is a major focus on the use of model systems that can be genetically manipulated, including bacteria, yeast, nematodes, insects, mice, and plants. These systems permit the easy identification and functional analysis of genes involved in a multitude of biological processes. Researchers in this area have access to several core facilities including the Genetic Analysis Center and the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, which contain equipment for high throughput generation and analysis of DNA sequences and gene expression data.
