Course Description
This course builds upon the course titled Introduction to Marker Association Analysis and QTL Detection by taking the results from association analyses and helping the students learn how these markers translate into functional changes in the animal genome. Students then learn how these changes translate into differences in animal performance. Topics covered in the course include an introduction to the tools used to generate genomic data followed by introduction and application of key bioinformatics websites, databases to identify causative genetic variation and develop gene pathways and networks. Ultimately, the whole course is tied back to the overriding concept of this program which is livestock genetic improvement.
Prerequisite: Introduction to Marker Association Analysis and QTL Detection

Course Access
Approximately three weeks before the first day of class at Colorado State University, the CSU campus coordinator, Mary Colasanti, emails course access instructions to students for courses taught by CSU. Using these instructions, students create their Colorado State eID (electronic identity). Students meeting all deadlines for eID creation and submission will have access to RamCT by the first day of class.

As a non-traditional college student in my early 50s, living and working in the Pacific Island of Guam, choosing the right program for graduate studies was very important to me. The process of selecting the right program was intentional – it had to offer a diverse student population, professors with real-life experiences, a safe space to share cultural perspectives, and a curriculum that offered classes that were aligned with students’ educational and professional goals. The Great Plains IDEA program met and exceeded all my expectations. Concepts from every course have been applied in my profession to the extent that it has aided in the expansion of our services and the population we serve. As I reflect on these successes, I attribute much of it to the genuine care of the GP IDEA professors who were as passionate about the success of each student as they were in the subjects they taught. GP IDEA was definitely the right program for me!
