Overview

Quantitative genetics is a branch of genetics that studies the inheritance of traits or qualitative characteristics and their relationship to the genes that produce them. It is used to understand and predict the behavior of genetic systems and how they interact with the environment. Quantitative genetics can help breeders select animals that are more likely to produce desirable traits, such as disease resistance, and improve livestock production, crop yields, and conservation of endangered species. It is also used to examine the potential of humans, and other species, to cope with changing environments. Quantitative genetics provides a powerful tool for understanding and manipulating the genetic material of living organisms.
