Course objectives
The aim of the practical course is to familiarize students with the method of DNA isolation using kit, preparation of reaction to PCR and control gel electrophoresis from samples of bacteria and yeasts.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, the students should be able practically use the isolation of DNA, the method of polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis from samples of bacterial and yeast cells.

Teaching methods
Students work individually and process their own sample. The results of experiments have to be summarized and evaluated in protocols. The protocols are prepared in accordance (information v the first practise and lecture). In the protocols students describe, compare, analyze, evaluated and discuss own results.
Assessment methods
The course is closed by a course-unit credit. The students obtain their credits for active attendance at the course and for the preparation of protocols
