Abstract

This introductory Laboratory course introduces the student to the entire range of classical and modern molecular biosciences. In the second year (Praktikum GL Bio II) the students will perform three praktikum days in:- Plant Biology- Animal Models- Genomics- Molecular Systems Biology(total of 12 experiments)Each experiment takes one full day.

Objective

Introduction to theoretical and experimental biology General Praktikum-information and course material: Moodle The general Praktikum information (Assignment list, Instructions and Schedule & Performance Sheet) will also be sent to the students directly (E-mail).

Content

The class is divided into four blocks: Cell Biology, Plant Biology, Genomics AND Molecular Systems Biology. One block lasts three weeks. Animal Models: - Tissue structure and biology - Mouse anatomy and histology - Tissue repair and cancer GENOMICS: - Chromosome preparations from mammalian cells - Genome Editing - Cancer genomics Molecular Systems Biology: - Preparation of proteomics and metabolomics samples - Analysis of proteomics and metabolomics data - Interpretation of proteomics and metabolomics data PLANT BIOLOGY: - Plants and light - Phytohormones and other growth factors - Molecular biology of systemic gene silencing
