The genetics and genomics group in the Department of Animal Science maintains two major areas of activities: quantitative genetics and functional genomics.
Students can select to major in animal science and focus their coursework and research project in the genetics and\/or genomics area. Alternatively, students can choose to pursue a major in animal science with a co-major in genetics or functional genomics. In this case, both the major and co-major programs will be designated on the student\u2019s graduate transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students pursuing research in genetics and genomics use a variety of animal models including beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine and mice in their thesis projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
