Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course offers the students the possibility to get acquainted with modern literature and recent views on repetitive DNA (tandemly repeated and dispersed including mobile genetic elements) which constitute large fractions of plant genomes. The selected papers will focus on types of repetitive DNA abundance, variation, hypotheses on their origin, factors stimulating their activity in the genome, mechanisms which enable their successful amplification, existence, and evolution in the genome. Furthermore, their impact on genome restructuring on all levels of organization and evolution will be discussed as well as their role in the genome (selfish junk DNA vs. useful collaborator). Students will be able to understand and appreciate different aspects of evolution and role of repetitive DNA in shaping plant genomes, especially in the forthcoming era of genomics. Special emphasis will be on application of next generation sequencing to analyze repetitive DNA pf complex plant genomes, both diploid and polyploid.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
To acquire following skills:
1. To be able to critically read the literature, to synthesize gained knowledge, to ask relevant questions and plan own experiments
2. To be able to analyze, document, and interpret the data in the context of other available published information.
Knowledge outcome:
1. To be able to define different types of repetitive DNA.
2. To be able to define major mechanisms by which the repeats originate, spread and evolve in the genome
3. To be able to define types and processes by which different repeat types participate in plant genome function and define what types of evolutionary changes do they influence in different plant groups (e.g., on the level of genes, chromosomes, and whole genomes)
4. To be able to understand application of next generation sequencing techniques and bioinformatic data analyses of repeats and how these contribute to elucidating the evolution of plant genomes.
