As teaching material, the slides of the lessons and the protocols of the techniques applied during the laboratory exercises will be provided by the teachers
Learning Objectives
Knowledge and understanding: The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical / practical knowledge and the ability to understand and interpret the most widespread techniques and technologies (traditional and innovative, low / medium / high productivity) in the laboratories of molecular biology.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The main objective is to acquire students the ability to identify and apply the most popular techniques for the extraction of nucleic acids, their qualitative and quantitative evaluation, their amplification by polymerase chain reaction, identification of known and unknown genetic variants, evaluation of gene expression, basic analysis methods of these data, cloning, gene transfer.
