Highly informative, with valuable practical insight into genomic selection and data-driven breeding. It deepened my understanding of predictive modelling, quantitative genetics and their real-world applications in modern plant breeding.
CMChakrapani MallaramBreeder, Star Agriseeds Pvt. Ltd.
The course gave me much-needed clarity on the fundamentals of genomic selection, explaining complex ideas through basic genetics. The tutorials, step-by-step code walkthroughs and PDF materials were especially valuable. Well paced, and I would gladly have taken a few more sessions.
