Module provides study materials for students at engineering degree level. It is intended for students of study programmes focused on animal sciences as well as related disciplines. Module 2 includes 4 topics dealing with the analysis of the biodiversity status of animal genetic resources using pedigree and genomic data, methods for optimising mating plans and bioinformatic tools for assessing livestock genome variability. In addition to the theoretical lectures, the module includes practical examples together with explanations of their solutions. Students can quickly verify the knowledge acquired in each topic through short tests.
