Genetics is theoretical part and applied genetics is practical. Genetic engineering which employees gene therapy to manipulate genetics structure for desired gene insertion or removal comes under applied genetics. It's like using genetics in industry to benefit from it. Genetics as a subject will teach about the genome, eugenetics, transcription translation and the application part while applied genetics teaches how to make use of the knowledge that genetic studies have given.
