ASI 742 - Cybersheep: A Genetic Simulation Game

Credits: 1

The goal of this course is for students to be able to make informed and effective decisions in a livestock breeding program. In order to accomplish this goal, the course will provide hands-on experience with selection and mating decisions, and their consequences through a genetic simulation. Genetic gains require time to achieve and there is very little opportunity for students to witness the consequences of breeding decisions in a course. The simulation is designed to offer an opportunity to see in real-time, the outcome of decision-making, and to experience the stochastic (chance) elements of a breeding program.
