Research within Centre for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) includes both basic and applied research. The research effort is centered on the genetic basis of complex traits in farm animals and model organisms. The core research process is development and implementation of advanced statistical and bioinformatic methods for analysis of genetics problems. The research within QGG is characterized by a very close synergy between method development, basic analyses and application of the developed methods on practical problems across animal species.
