Prerequisites for admission
Knowledge of Histology, Embryology, Anatomy acquired during the course of Anatomy of Companion Animals I and Physiology acquired during the course of Veterinary Physiology
Assessment methods and Criteria
Anatomy: Written exam consisting of 31 multiple choice questions (four answers for each question, one exact). Examples of questions and their answers will be presented to the student at the end of each topic covered, in order to direct the study and make learning more effective.
Physiology: Written exam consisting of 40 true/false questions (four answers for each question, only one correct).
Genetics: Written test. Exercises and open questions
The test will be graded out of thirty and the final grade will take into account the accuracy and quality of the answers

Pet breeding
Course syllabus
Basic Genetics (4 hours F)
Structure and organization of the animal genome: Differences between genomes, mutations, SNPs, causative mutations, anonymous, synonym, locus and alleles.
Technologies applied to the study of the animal genome (2 hours F)
DNA Sequencing Methods and the DNA Chip (Bead Chip)
Principles of population genetics: (4 hours F + 2 practical hours)
Genes and population: Genotypic and gene frequencies; Hardy-Weinberg's law; Effect of selection, migration, mutation and genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic variability (within and between breeds). (4 hours F)
Variability between breeds: genetic distances, Variability within breeds: kinship (pedigree and molecular). Use of genomic data for the analysis of genetic variability between and within breeds.
Selection for genetic improvement (12 hours F, 10 Practice hours)
- Selection criteria and objectives
- Phenotype and genotype
- Qualitative and quantitative characters (infinitesimal model)
- Phenotype adjustment for environmental effects
- Genetic parameters: heritability, repeatability and correlations
- Genetic evaluation
- Genetic progress.
- genetic and genomic selection index
- Selection schemes.
Genetic Association (10 hours F + 2 practical hours)
Basic principles for the identification of genomic regions linked to phenotypes of interest (morphological characters and hereditary diseases). Estimation of the gene substitution effect, analogy with the infinitesimal model.
Analysis of the main online genomic databases (4 hours Frontal + 2 exercises)
