Cursusdoelen

    After this course you will be able to:

    • Mention different techniques to study genomes and apply these in plant breeding
    • Discuss the available next generation sequencing platforms
    • Distinguish different types of molecular markers and explain how to use them in map-based cloning
    • Explain QTL mapping and genome-wide association mapping
    • Discuss techniques used in plant breeding to improve crop performance
    • Present a brief lecture with a small group of fellow students
    • Search public databases on the internet for information on the mutants and molecular markers you need during the practical laboratory course
    • Design experiments to identify the chromosomal location of genes responsible for two given mutations by map-based cloning
    • Present your experiments in the form of a report written in the format of a scientific article
      Inhoud

      This course aims to give students an insight in the methods used and results obtained in functional genomics. We will focus on the question: How is genomics being used in current plant breeding efforts?
