What it is about

You will learn the technical and genetic fundamentals of molecular markers, the construction of genetic and physical maps, as well as the concepts of QTL and association analyses. You will also acquire knowledge on genomic prediction and marker-assisted selection and will be able to apply the methods later in breeding programs.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand the basic concepts of marker-assisted selection
  • Apply statistical methods to experimental datasets
  • Use genetic information in breeding programs
  • Apply regression methods for QTL and association mapping
  • Apply regularized regression for genomic prediction and selection
  • Use resampling methods to assess predictive efficiency
  • Assess the decision-relevance of marker-assisted selection

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungDevelopment of the theoretical foundations in dialogue; conveying the concepts
  • ComputerübungenDeepening of theoretical knowledge through analysis of experimental datasets

Teaching method

  • Vorlesung / Tafelarbeitfor collaborative development and visualization of the theoretical foundations
  • PowerPoint-Präsentationenfor visualization of the presented concepts
  • Computerübungen / Anwendungstrainingfor practical implementation and analysis of experimental datasets
