Moleclar biology is biology at the molecular level. It deals with genes, DNA, RNA and biological things at the molecular level.

It is important for the surgeon to know a little about molecular biology as developments in this area, will have big implications in the diagnosis, and management of various conditions that the clinician encounters.

This will become increasingly important as the effects of the completion of the human genome project become felt.
