The three AGs are Animal Genetics, Molecular Genetics, and Plant Genetics . GGG faculty belong to one or more of these groups.
Students choose their affiliation based on the membership of their faculty mentor.
The three AGs are similar in their requirements and course loads but have different emphases. Also, mechanisms for rotations and faculty choice differ. Briefly, students entering the Molecular Genetics AG are required to rotate two quarters before choosing a faculty mentor. Students entering the Plant Genetics AG have the option to rotate or enter after selecting a specific professor. Students entering the Animal Genetics AG are required to enter having selected one faculty member.
