As well as the faculty with primary appointments in the Department of Genetics, there are also a host of faculty from all over UNC-CH who are doing exceptionally broad and interactive research in genetics, with primary appointments in the Department of Biology. The Department of Biology is just a short walk from the Genetics Department.
