BSc (Genetics and Genomics)

BSc in Genetics and Genomics is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of genes, genetic variation, and the functions of genes in living organisms. This program combines principles of genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to understand how genes contribute to traits and diseases. Students in this program learn about genetic inheritance, gene expression, genetic engineering, genome sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis.


Genetics and Genomics

Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and variations in living organisms. It involves the study of how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.

Genomics, on the other hand, is a broader field that involves the study of all of an organism's genes, as well as their interactions and influence on the organism as a whole. It includes the study of the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes.
