Genetics is the science of biological inheritance and its variation. Its principles include Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, epigenetics, cytogenetics, quantitative genetics and population genetics. Genomics is a relatively modern discipline, which is developed from the achievements of recombinant DNA technology and the new sequencing methods and bioinformatics approximations. Using these methodologies is possible to perform genomic sweeps that allows the comprehensive understanding of organisms and of the inheritance processes, mainly in complex traits. Genetics and Genomics contribute to the knowledge for the development of new biotechnological products, new drugs, the improvement of human and animal health, the conservation and management of plants and animals, the control of parasites and microorganisms, as well as the understanding of the past and present evolutionary processes involving all living organisms. The teaching staff involved in the delivery of the Master is part of the leading research groups in genomics and genetics, both from universities and research centres, with high national and international prestige. Thus, students will see first-hand the most current and innovative techniques and methodologies in these fields.
