Molecular tools for gene study

Molecular tools are special kinds of tools that scientists use to study genes. Genes are like instructions inside the body that tell our cells what to do. Molecular tools help scientists to understand how genes work and what they do. For example, scientists can use molecular tools to identify the different genes inside a cell, figure out how genes work together, and even create new genes.
