Farming
A course by
Lincoln University
Explore the application of genetics to the breeding of plants, animals and microbes for agricultural production systems, with practical knowledge of molecular genetics and gene technology.
In-person study
Face-to-face learning in a physical classroom setting
Lincoln University Campus, Christchurch

Use advanced knowledge of classical, molecular and quantitative genetics to develop strategies for manipulating genetic composition of organisms relevant to agricultural production.

Identify and apply appropriate quantitative and qualitative analytical tools to address problems and challenges in genetics and breeding.

Applied Genetics and Breeding explores the application of genetics to breeding of plants, animals and microbes relevant to agricultural production systems. It provides practical knowledge and applied uses of molecular genetics and modern gene technology techniques. The course covers classical, molecular and quantitative genetics to develop strategies in genetics manipulation, analytical tools application, population genetics analysis, and ethical considerations including selective breeding and transgenics. It emphasizes balancing genetic and breeding tools to produce valued, healthy livestock.
