Program description

The Genetics Minor focuses on understanding the biology of genes. Genes are composed of DNA, encode proteins, and are the basis for phenotypes. Genes are the heritable information that is passed from parent to progeny. Differences in genes are the diversity that is the basis for evolution and the cause of genetic diseases. Training provided by the genetics minor will benefit students in a wide variety of majors including health sciences, engineering, and agriculture.
