About the Program

In the past decade, the knowledge of genome composition and gene function has increased tremendously. The shift from single gene to whole genome analysis and the complete sequencing of higher eucaryotic genomes offer the possibility to study how all genes work together. These recent developments in genomics have great impact on agricultural research. Genome resequencing will give further insights into evolutionary processes and how modern crops and livestock arose from their ancestors. Furthermore, we can genotypically select individuals based on whole genome sequences or whole genome chip arrays. There is an increasing demand for specialists who understand both the fundamentals of agricultural production and the application of genomics for breeding and cultivation of crops and livestock.
