Animal Genetics Course
Master the science of animal genetics from Mendelian principles to cutting-edge genomic selection and CRISPR-based editing. This course equips you with the quantitative, molecular, and computational skills demanded by modern livestock breeding and conservation programmes. Whether you work in research, industry, or animal production, you will gain the expertise to drive measurable genetic improvement.

What will I learn?
This course covers the full spectrum of animal genetics, starting with foundational principles of inheritance and cell biology, then advancing through quantitative genetics, population genetics, and molecular tools. You will learn how to estimate breeding values, construct selection indices, and design genomic evaluation pipelines using SNP data. The curriculum also addresses genome-wide association studies, QTL mapping, and functional genomic annotation. Conservation genetics, disease resistance breeding, and reproductive biotechnologies are covered in depth. You will also explore emerging topics, including CRISPR genome editing, artificial intelligence in breeding, and the integration of precision livestock farming.
