      The goal The subject aims to provide students the knowledge about application of molecular genetics techniques in parentage testing, kinship analysis and affirming of breed affiliation.
      The outcome Student should understand the role of parentage testing in animal pedigree verification and breeding programs. Finnaly, student have to be acquainted with the factors that affect the accuracy of the test for parentage determining and pedigree analysis. Student should become capable to perform parentage testing, kinship analysis and affirming of breed affiliation.
