Genomics is the mapping, sequencing and analysis of the genetic information for a particular organism.

ViaLactia's goal is the understanding of how genes and other factors interact to influence complex biological traits in animals, plants, and microbes.

The use of genomic technologies complements and enhances the processes of plant and livestock breeding. The application of genomics by ViaLactia will provide options to improve productivity in dairying, and develop novel milk products.
