Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The practical course introduces the methods of chromosome preparation in selected groups of plants, as well as classical and molecular chromosome staining methods. The students learn to perform DNA:DNA in-situ hybridization (FISH), in particular to prepare and label some of the DNA probes (species-specific repetitive DNA, rDNAs, telomeric sequences), to detect of the hybridization sites (fluorescence) and to analyze the obtained data. The students will acquire practical skills in chromosome handling and learn to analyze and interpret chromosomal data in evolutionary context.
