Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to give the general knowledge on trends in genetics, gene analysis of farm animals, genetic background of important traits, and practical use of genetics and genomics in animal breeding. The content will be specified individual for any postgraduate student accorording to the topic of the thesis. The course could be focused to genetics of cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, microorganisms etc.
Knowledge in special fields of genetics according to the disertation focus.
