"A geneticist is
a biologist or physician who
studies genetics,
the science of genes, heredity,
and variation of organisms.
A geneticist can be employed
as a scientist or
a lecturer.
Geneticists may perform general research on
genetic processes or develop genetic
technologies to aid in the pharmaceutical or
and agriculture industries. Some
geneticists perform experiments in model
organisms such as Drosophila, C.
elegans, zebrafish, rodents or humans and
analyze data to interpret the inheritance of
biological traits. A basic science
geneticist is a scientist who
usually has earned a PhD in genetics and
undertakes research and/or lectures in the
field. A medical
geneticist is
a physician who
has been trained in medical
genetics as
a specialization and
evaluates, diagnoses, and manages patients
with hereditary
conditions or congenital
malformations;
and provides genetic
risk calculations and mutation
analysis."
