The Biometrics Laboratory was inaugurated on 04/13/2012 in partnership with the bioinformatics laboratory. It is located in the Department of General Biology (DBG) at the Federal University of Viçosa (MG).

It consists of 35 computers in addition to the Biometric Processing Laboratory (PROBIO) with 3 high-performance servers for genetic-statistical analysis.

It also counts on professors of genetics, improvement and statistics and students of scientific initiation, masters and doctorate.

Goals:

Train professionals in the field of Biometrics and Genetic improvement

Analyze and process data with emphasis on plant breeding

To promote the training and professional qualification in subjects of Genetics and Improvement

Develop and make available computer applications for the teaching and learning of genetics and for simulation, analysis and data processing.

The biometrics laboratory is part of BIODATA, which is the research network in biometrics and statistics of the UFV (http://www.ufv.br/dbg/biodata.htm)
