Overview
Research in genetics has brought about one of the major scientific revolutions of humankind. The advent of recombinant DNA technology provided the tools to isolate, sequence and characterize genes, the building blocks of life.
Evolutionary biology has allowed us to reconstruct the history and selective pressures acting to shape those genes. In the past ten years, a remarkable synthesis of molecular and evolutionary genetics has taken place and created the field of genomics, which promises unprecedented scientific breakthroughs in medicine and agriculture.
Features
- Our Genetics program at University of Georgia is unique in that it brings together a broad array of faculty in many areas of molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and genomics into one group.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The Department of Genetics offers a graduate program leading to the PhD degree.
- The department is particularly strong in the areas of recombinant DNA technology, gene regulation, prokaryotic molecular genetics, plant molecular biology, mammalian genetics, evolutionary genetics, and population genetics.
- After a student is admitted, a faculty advisory committee is appointed to recommend a program of study based on the individual student’s academic background and research interests.
- A master’s degree is not required for entrance into the doctoral program, and students without a master’s degree are encouraged to enter the doctoral program directly.
