DNA analysis.
Techniques like PCR and DNA sequencing (Sanger and next‑generation sequencing), along with molecular assays, let us read and compare genomes, identify genes and mutations, map inheritance precisely, and link sequence changes to phenotypes — advances far beyond what microscopy or the mere discovery of DNA’s structure alone could provide.
