Institution
Section overview
Description
Objective of the Institute of Genome Biology is the identification of the genome contribution to trait variation and performance differences as well as the clarification of the genetic potential of individual farm animals. Therefore, we perform holistic analyses on different molecular layers between genotype and phenotype and integrate such 'omics'-data.
We analyze structure, localization, and functional principles of trait associated genetic variation as well as of regulation of gene expression and gene interaction to contribute to the definition of functional units of the genome.
