Overview

Course Description

This course will extend concepts learned in previous courses to include DNA marker information with the objective of increasing the accuracy of selection decision tools. A broad spectrum of material will be presented relative to this ever-changing field of research. The course will cover basic concepts behind marker information, interpretation of molecular breeding values, and inclusion of marker information in genetic prediction. The majority of the course will focus on inclusion of single marker data into genetic prediction. This initial information can then be extrapolated to the use of whole genome information; the course will conclude with an introduction into this type of data analysis. Prerequisite: Genetic Prediction

Course Access

Canvas for CSU

Approximately three weeks before the first day of class at Colorado State University, the CSU campus coordinator, Mary Colasanti, emails course access instructions to students for courses taught by CSU. Using these instructions, students create their Colorado State eID (electronic identity). Students meeting all deadlines for eID creation and submission will have access to RamCT by the first day of class.

Exam Proctor

This course does not require an exam proctor.

Synchronous Components

This course does not include synchronous components.
