 Purdue Agriculture > Forestry and Natural Resources > Genetics
|
| Molecular as well as analytical methods are applied to a variety of genetic questions (e.g., genetic diversity, relatedness, heritability) in both natural and captive populations. A variety of plants and animals are studied in modern laboratory facilities that are enhanced by departmental field sites. |
