Stem Cell Genetics is the study of the hereditary and molecular mechanisms that govern the properties, differentiation, and functions of stem cells. These cells have a unique ability to continuously self-renew and demonstrate pluripotency or multipotency, enabling them to differentiate into various specialized cell types. Investigating the genetic networks, transcription factors, and epigenetic modifications that regulate stem cell behavior provides valuable insights into development, tissue regeneration, and disease modeling. Research in stem cell genetics forms the foundation for breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, gene therapy, and personalized medicine, facilitating innovative treatments for degenerative disorders, congenital conditions, and tissue repair. Techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, RNA sequencing, and genome-wide analyses are commonly used to study and manipulate stem cell genomes. By integrating genetics with stem cell biology, this field deepens our understanding of cellular differentiation, developmental processes, and therapeutic potential—advancing both biomedical research and clinical applications.
