Course objectives
The laboratory course aims to provide students with practical skills in methods of recombinant DNA technologies, genetic manipulation with bacteria and yeasts, expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli and P. pastoris, bacterial genome sequencing, and transcriptomic and metagenomics analysis.
Learning outcomes
The student will have the following practical skills: 1. Design and implement techniques related to DNA manipulation (cloning, transformation) 2. Design and perform expression of recombinant proteins in the E. coli and P. pastoris yeast expression system 3. To perform and evaluate metagenomics analysis from the environmental sample. 4. To perform and do a basic evaluation of bacterial genome and transcriptome sequencing data. 5. To perform a critical evaluation of acquired data within basic methods of current gene technologies
Syllabus
