Animal Genetics Laboratory
The Animal Genetics Laboratory offers DNA testing used for identification, parentage verification, and determination of specific homozygous/heterozygous gene mutations in animals. The analysis provides useful information for diseases, coat colors, as well as physical traits. Currently, the lab provides routine services for testing horses, cattle, and donkeys.

Center for Educational Technologies (CET)
The Center for Educational Technologies (CET) specializes in developing education programs, trainings and outreach activities which complement technical experts’ research activities. The CET offers educational program development, training, virtual learning platforms, webinar hosting, virtual learning, videography, illustration, program evaluation, educational resource development, outreach program development, and continuing education. Many external sponsors request that researchers’ scientific findings be disseminated through education and outreach programs. This is where the CET’s faculty can step in. By partnering with the CET, researchers can focus on their technical expertise, while CET faculty translates your research into training programs and disseminates findings to the general public. The CET offers online hosting services for websites and virtual learning. The CET has a state-of-the-art video production studio on campus, video equipment to film on-location, and equipment to film on the go, such as with GoPros. The CET has worked with industry, academic and government research partners on both public and private grants. Explore our current and past collaborations at: tx.ag/getfunded

Educational Memorial Program
The Educational Memorial Program at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) offers you a very special way to honor your deceased pet. This veterinary program is similar to human programs that allow individuals to will their bodies to medical education after they pass. Donating your deceased pet to our program can be a way of letting their spirit live on through the education of future veterinarians and other healthcare professionals. These donations are valuable to the school’s teaching mission to train veterinary and undergraduate students in anatomy and surgery.

Trace Element Research Laboratory
The Trace Element Research Laboratory (TERL) is dedicated to providing students with a high-quality education in environmental chemistry. TERL supplies sponsors with high-quality trace element data and services in trace metals for environmental samples. We have participated in most major US environmental monitoring programs over the past decade and have an established reputation for accurate measurement of trace metal levels in samples from even the most pristine environments.
