About Master of Science - Animal Breeding and Genetics
The revolution in genetic mapping technology and the advent of whole genome sequences have turned quantitative genetics into one of the fastest growing areas of biology.
Based in the internationally renowned Institute of Evolutionary Biology, this MSc draws from the wealth of expertise available there, as well as the teaching, research expertise and facilities of:
- Scotland’s Rural College
- The University’s Centre for Genomics and Experimental Medicine
- The Medical Research Council’s Human Genetics Unit
- The Roslin Institute (birthplace of Dolly the sheep).
Each year the syllabus is fine-tuned to suit current issues in evolutionary, plant, human and animal genetics. This program forms part of the Quantitative Genetics suite of programs offering three specialist routes, which also include Human Complex Trait Genetics and Evolutionary Genetics.
