About the course
The course focuses on the regulation of gene expression in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, and basic molecular biology and genetics as well as the latest large-scale methods used to study gene function and gene expression. Practical training in PCR, homologous recombination, epigenetics in fission yeast and inactivation of gene expression using RNA interference in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Ethical issues in molecular biology and genetics. Study visit to e.g., SciLifeLab.
