Our program unites a diverse faculty specializing in molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and genomics into a cohesive team. Earning a Genetics graduate degree from UGA positions you at the cutting edge of this transformative scientific movement.
Genetic research has sparked one of humanity's most significant scientific breakthroughs. Recombinant DNA techniques enabled scientists to isolate, sequence, and analyze genes - life's fundamental components. Evolutionary biology helps us trace these genes' origins and the selective forces that molded them. Over the last decade, molecular and evolutionary genetics have merged to form genomics, a field poised to deliver extraordinary advances in medicine and agriculture. By pursuing a Genetics graduate degree at the University of Georgia, you'll lead this groundbreaking scientific evolution.
