| Course Objectives | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course deals with Plant Biotechnology 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. Computer projects will give the students hands-on experience on analysis of post genomic plus ensure that the students are familiar with relevant web sites in plant science. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Course Contents | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course consists of lectures in the current technology on generation of mutants, sequence analysis, generation of phylogenetic trees, chemometrics, microarray systems, neural networks, proteomics, metabolite profiling, protein modeling/graphics, as well as posttranslational, transcriptional gene silencing and bioimaging. Current literature will be discussed in 'journal clubs'. In the afternoon, computer projects will give the students hands-on experience on analysis of array data, metabolite profiles, proteomics, sequences in phylogenetic trees with bootstrap values, plus ensure that the students are familiar with relevant web sites in plant science. The course will enable the students to make use of the tools available in the postgenomic era. | |||||||||||||||||||
