遗传学和基因组学理学学士

遗传学和基因组学将为您提供可用于增进我们对进化（过去和现在）以及所有活生物体生物学许多方面的理解的知识。这些知识还可以用于开发新的生物技术产品，改善人类和动物的健康，进行法医，保护和管理动植物，诊断和控制害虫，寄生虫和有害微生物，并改善动植物维持人类饮食和衣服的方式。遗传学是生物遗传和变异的科学。基因组学，分子遗传学，“孟德尔”遗传学，表观遗传学，细胞遗传学，群体遗传学和定量遗传学都包含了其基本原理。
A Bachelor of Science opens up a world of opportunity. Whether you dream of joining the forefront of research, learning how to analyse and think critically or making the planet a better place, a Bachelor of Science will give you highly sought-after skills for a huge range of careers. At Sydney you will be taught by dedicated scientific thinkers, including members of the Australian Academy of Science, Australian Research Council Fellows and prestigious prize winners. You will study in world-class facilities, including the multimillion-dollar Sydney Nanoscience Hub and the Charles Perkins Centre, with its focus on diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.<br> <br>Genetics and Genomics will provide you with knowledge that can be applied to improving our understanding of evolution (past and present) and of many aspects of the biology of all organisms. This knowledge can also be applied to the development of novel biotechnology products, to improving the health of humans and animals, to forensics, to the conservation and management of plants and animals, to the diagnosis and control of pests, parasites and harmful micro-organisms, to improving the means by which plants and animals can sustain the feeding and clothing of humanity and to further our understanding of the biology of organisms. Genetics is the science of biological inheritance and variation. Its fundamental principles are embraced by genomics, molecular genetics, 'Mendelian' genetics, epigenetics, cytogenetics, population genetics, and quantitative genetics. Genomics is a relatively new discipline that has been developed through the capacity of geneticists and genome scientists to generate very large data sets using by high-throughput DNA, RNA and protein technologies, and the need to determine the control of biological functions by informatics analysis of the large data sets generated.
