Course Description
M.Sc Applied Genetics course comprises major areas of Genetics which includes Cell Biology, Cytogenetics, Pharmacogenetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemical techniques, Immunotechnology, Hematology, Quantitative Genetics, Developmental Genetics, Human Genetics and Biotechnology. In addition, it also includes computer and Bio-statistics applications and Bioinformatics.
Applied Genetics is directed at changing the genomes of organisms, to increase their utility to humans. Techniques are derived from cytogenetics, molecular biology, and Mendelian and quantitative genetics. Typically, applied geneticists have expertise in one or more related fields of study such as agronomy, biochemistry, botany, entomology, food processing, forestry, microbiology, pathology, physiology, and statistics.
