Katalogdaten
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course provides training for advanced students (master, doctoral or post-doctoral level) in how to measure and collect genetic diversity data from populations, experiments, field and laboratory. Different DNA/RNA extraction protocols, quality control measurements, SNP genotyping and gene expression techniques will be addressed. |
| Lernziel | To learn and improve on standard and modern methods of genetic data collection. Examples are: use of pyrosequencing, expression analysis, SNP-typing, next-generation sequencing etc. A course for practicioners. |
| Inhalt | After an introduction (one afternoon), students will have 3 weeks to work independently in groups of two through different protocols. At the end the whole class meets for another afternoon to present the techniques/results and to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques. Techniques adressed are: RNA/DNA extractions and quality control, SNP genotyping, pyrosequencing, real-time qPCR. |
| Skript | Material will be handed out in the course. |
| Literatur | Material will be handed out in the course. |
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Two afternoons are hold in the class. The lab work will be done from the students according to their timetable, but has to be finished after 3 weeks. Effort is roughly 1-2 days per week, depending on the skills of the student. |
