The Molecular Biology Section in a Pathology Laboratory is a specialized area focused on the study of genetic material, including DNA and RNA, at the molecular level. It employs various techniques and technologies to analyze and manipulate genetic information, aiding in the diagnosis of genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and the assessment of cancer markers.
Samples (blood, tissues, or bodily fluids) for molecular testing undergo extraction of DNA and RNA, to isolate the genetic material of interest.
