Course contents:
The exercises include demonstrations, calculations, lab exercises and are intended to give the students practice in conducting basic genetic analysis and first-hand experience in central techniques in molecular biology.
Learning outcome:
The students will get training in the basic genetic analyses and laboratory work that is conducted within genetics/molecular biology. The students are also to understand the theoretical principles behind the experiments/exercises.
Learning activities:
In addition to exercises, there will be calculations, review of exercises and lab work.
Teaching support:
Supervised exercises. Teacher is available at designated hours, announced on the course website.
