Course content
Through relevant research examples the course will give an overview of the chosen research organisms (yeast, plant, fish, mammalian) and their advantages as model systems in molecular biology. Central methods relevant to the individual research organisms will be explained and analyzed.
Description of qualifications
- that you gain an understanding of the advantages of using model organisms in the investigation of both normal and pathogenic molecular biological processes.
- that you gain an understanding of current techniques and methods relevant to each model organism.
Learning outcomes and competences
When the course has been finished it is expected that the student is able to:
- explain the aptitude of a given research organism to solve a specific research problem
- explain the methods which have been treated during the course
- explain the use of and analyze genetic methods for identification and characterization of cellular mechanisms
- understand and argue for the use the methods, which have been dealt with during the course, to solve a specific molecular biologic problem
-
identify and sum up original scientific data on the individual research organisms as well as present, analyze, discuss and conclude based on this.
