The aim of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, methods, and applications of animal biotechnology. The course enables students to understand the use of cellular and molecular biotechnology techniques in animal production, reproductive biotechnology, genetic improvement, disease diagnosis, and biomedical research, while developing the ability to evaluate these applications within scientific, ethical, and sustainability frameworks.
Fundamental concepts and historical development of animal biotechnology; cell and tissue culture techniques; stem cell biology; recombinant DNA technology; gene cloning and gene expression; PCR and DNA sequencing methods; genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other omics technologies; production of transgenic animals; embryo technologies and assisted reproductive techniques; molecular markers and genomic selection; development of biological products; molecular diagnosis of animal diseases; bioinformatics applications; and ethical, biosafety, and regulatory aspects of animal biotechnology.
| 1. | Evaluates the fundamental concepts of animal biotechnology, including molecular markers, genome-wide analysis approaches (GWAS), and omics technologies, in the context of animal breeding. |
| 2. | Explains cloning and transgenic animal production methods and interprets their applications in genetic engineering. |
| 3. | Describes the fundamental principles and laboratory applications of mammalian cell culture and stem cell technologies. |
| 4. | Analyzes reproductive biotechnology techniques (in vivo/in vitro embryo production, IVM, IVF, IVC, estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, embryo transfer). |
| 5. | Evaluates advanced applications in reproductive and biotechnological processes (sex determination, cryopreservation) and interprets their practical uses. |
