Animal Genomics and Bioresource Research Unit (AGB), Kasetsart University
Mission statement
The Animal Genomics and Bioresource Research Unit (AGB), Kasetsart University aim is to clarify genome and chromosome structures to better comprehend genetic diversity and evolutionary processes using both cytogenetic, molecular biology, and genomic techniques. Developing conservation programmes for genetically depleted species is crucial, as their survival and adaptive potential depend on genetic and habitat factors. Conservation programmess aim to minimise risks associated with inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity.
