INTRODUCTION COURSE TO QUANTITATIVE GENETICS

Quantitative genetics plays a fundamental role in understanding the inheritance of complex characters and their knowledge is of vital importance for animal and plants genetic improvement programs. In the introduction to quantitative genetics, high quality online training is offered. In this formation you can find basic notions about characters that are influenced by various genes. Characterized by its rigorous theoretical approach, this course stands out for the depth and precision of its content, making it the ideal choice for those who seek a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of quantitative genetics. In Euroinnova we have a multidisciplinary teaching team that will not hesitate to offer your support.

- Analyze the nature of polygenic characters and their influence on phenotypic variation. - Understand the concepts of population average, medium effect and improvement values. - Identify the components of the variance and its contribution to genetic variability. - Study inheritability and estimation methods, including twin analysis. - Evaluate the response to artificial selection and its effect on genetic variability. - Explore the effects of consanguinity and crossing in populations. - Analyze the genetic and environmental correlations between quantitative characters and their relevance in the selection.

The professional outputs of this course of introduction to quantitative genetics are related to genetic research, teaching in genetics, consulting on genetic improvement projects and contribution to scientific research in academic institutions and both public and private universities, as well as research laboratories.

This course of introduction to quantitative genetics prepares you to acquire solid knowledge of the theoretical principles in quantitative genetics, which will allow you to know the issues that influence the heritability of characters influenced by several genes and the interaction of these with the environment. If you are biologist, biochemist, biochemist or veterinarian, this course is perfect to complement your formation.

This introduction course to quantitative genetics is aimed at professionals trained in the field of experimental biociencies and sciences, as well as veterinarians who wish to have a greater knowledge of the issues that must be taken into account when performing genetic improvement programs.
