Contents:
Basics of genetics (Mendelian inheritance; karyograms; DNA, RNA and protein; gene
structure; epigenetics), Biotechnologies for animal breeding (Artificial Insemination;
Spermsexing; embryo transfer and associated techniques such as in vitro fertilization,
embryo sexing, stem cells, cloning), Biotechnologies for plant breeding (in vitro cloning,
induction of haploids, direct and indirect genetic transformation, interspecific sexual and
somatic hybridization), Molecular genetics (PCR; qPCR; Recombinant DNA Technology;
DNA markers; miRNA; Sanger sequencing; expression analysis; Next Generation
Sequencing; array techniques; cytogenetics; proteomics; genome editing techniques).
Learning outcome, core skills:
Profound knowledge of biotechnologies to decipher phenotypes and traits for plant
and animal breeding. Skills to use appropriate molecular genetic tools to elucidate the
genetic basis of traits. Development of creativity and independent as well as globally
thinking to solve complex breeding challenges; effective communication skills (both
orally and written); self-learners.
Examination requirements:
The examinee should show the potential to solve breeding challenges applying the best
biotechnologies and most accurate molecular genetic tools |
