Master in Agriculture Genomics

Agricultural genomics are areas that emphasize innovative genomic applications to enhance understanding of biological processes for utilization in applications for improved crop and livestock. Genomics applications can be made using a variety of genomic equipment or resources such as the entire sequence of genomes, physical maps and genetic sequence polymorphisms that have been developed for various economic-related organisms. The genome sequence can be accessed in public databases that are complemented by genomic clearing software and information browsers that facilitate comparisons of multiple genotypes and species as well as across genomes made.
