The Department of Genetics includes the following laboratories:

• Classical genetics:
- planning and organization field experiments
- crossing experiments
- crossing mutant's lines and developing mapping populations
- physical and chemical mutagenesis


• Molecular genetics:
- proteins electrophoresis
- DNA and RNA isolation
- transposons analysis - SSAP, IRAP
- PCR techniques and analysis of DNA markers - RFLP, RAPD, ISJ, SSR, AFLP, STS
- gene cloning
- DNA isolation using such metods as „positional cloning” i „candidate gene approach”
- construction of cDNA libraries


• Quantitative traits genetics:
- inheritance quantitative traits
- genetics parametrs ([d], [h], [l], [i])
- quantitative traits mapping


• Cytogenetics:
- classical - analysis of mitotic and meiotic chromosomes
- molecular - FISH, GISH


• In vitro cultures:
- liverworts spores' and gametophytes' cultures
- callus cultures from plant tissues (Arabidopsis thaliana)
- immature embryos' cultures (cereals, legumes)
- anthers and microspores cultures in cereals


• Statisctic:
- ANOVA/MANOVA
- principal component analysis (PCA)
- canonical variate analysis (CVA)
- analysis of discriminant value

We also enjoy some of the Faculty infrastructures:

• A fully automated greenhouse
• Experimental fields located 5 km from the Department
• Rooms for seminars and lectures (for 50 and 200 people, respectively)

... and some of the University infrastructures:

• A broad range of scientific books and journals in library.
• Online access to many of the EU official documents from the Centre of European Documentation.
