Topics include: (i) Processes responsible for stability and variability of genomes and for the control of gene activities, particularly in eukaryotes. (ii) Modern techniques for the analysis of such processes. (iii) Practical applications in basic science, breeding, gene technology, and diagnostics.
Objective
Understanding of the structure and function of genetic material as well as processes active in natural and artificial variation (e.g., gene technology). Knowledge of the most important methods of molecular biology.
