| Course Objectives | |||
| It is the purpose of the course to educate the students in plant science in the postgenomic era. | |||
| Course Contents | |||
| The course deals with Plant Science in the postgenomic era. In addition to basic textbook knowledge, the students will be educated in the non-textbook knowledge (as the books are not yet written) to whole-system approaches to basic questions. The course consists of lectures in the current technology on generation of mutants, microarray, proteomics, metabolite profiling, protein modeling/graphics, sequence analysis, generation of phylogenetic trees, as well as posttranscriptional gene silencing. Current literature will be discussed in 'journal clubs'. In the afternoon, computer exercises will give the students hands-on experience on analysis of array data, metabolite profiles, proteomics, sequences in phylogenetic trees with bootstrap values, proteinmodelling, plus ensure that the students are familiar with relevant websites in plant science. The course will enable the students to make use of the tools available in the postgenomic era. | |||
