Animal Genetics Specialist Course

What Will I Learn?
You will build a rigorous foundation in cell biology, DNA structure, and heredity before advancing into quantitative genetics, heritability estimation, and breeding value calculation. You will learn to design and implement genomic selection programmes, conduct genome-wide association studies, and manage genetic diversity in commercial and conservation populations. The course covers molecular laboratory techniques, bioinformatics pipelines, and gene editing technologies including CRISPR-Cas9. You will also study genetic diseases, screening programme design, and species-specific applications in cattle, swine, poultry, and companion animals. By the end, you will be equipped to lead animal genetics programmes with scientific precision and practical confidence.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can switch chapters and skip content I don't need.

I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!

The platform is fast, simple to use. The diversity of content and complementary videos really help with learning.
