Methods in biotechnology

The course is subdivided in 3 modules. The goal is to acquire knowledge and operational competencies in genomics, functional genomics and applications to plant improvement and to molecular taxonomy.

The student will acquire competencies in generating and analyzing data through the genomics and functional-genomics techniques. The student will be able to plan experiments using genomic sequencing, gene expression analyses, and their integration with metabolomics and proteomics. The student will be able to understand and apply knowledge in molecular taxonomy.
