Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
DNA-sequencing (Sanger sequencing); population genetics and genome evolution from NGS (next-generation sequencing) data (incl. basic bioinformatics); basic phylogenetic (and phylogenomic) methods and their application in studying character evolution (e.g., morphological characters, chromosome numbers, biogeography); the Structural Botany part of this course is dedicated to techniques and applications of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM); case studies of flower development, seed surface and structural adaptations.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written protocol 50%, written exam 30%, presentation 20%
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students are able to apply basic methods in botanical research (e.g., DNA sequencing, phylogenetic methods, bioinformatic analyses of NGS data; preparation techniques and SEM usage), and they have good knowledge and skills in the fields of systematic and evolutionary botany as well as structural botany.
Examination topics
Practical work in the lab and at the computer; demonstration
Integration of methods and data in a scientific protocol; presentation of a specific aspect pertaining to the content of this course
