Type/Form
Pre-requisites Learning outcome/core skills:

The module addresses students who want to acquire profound theoretical and practical knowledge of molecular genetic approaches. Relevant methods and experimental design are imparted theoretically and practically. Selected topics of molecular zoology are profoundly covered in the lectures based current publications. Current molecular approaches in pest control and insect biotechnology are covered as well.

Learning outcome:

• Application of various molecular biological techniques, experimental strategies and interpretation of data

• Gene function analysis in Zoology: How are relevant genes identified and how is their function studied in model and non-model organisms? (e.g. genetic screens, reverse genetics (RNAi), genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9), transgenesis)

• Knowledge of databases of DNA, protein and gene function

• Identification of orthologous genes in different species

• Establishment of new molecular genetic model systems for zoological questions

• Advanced discussion of current research topics in molecular zoology

• Advanced discussion of most recent approaches in insect biotechnology using molecular genetic methods (i.a. pest control).

Core skills:

The students should be able to

• Design strategies for the identification and analysis of gene functions in non-model organisms

• Design the establishment of new molecular genetic model systems

• Present and assess scientific problems concerning selected topics of molecular Zoology.
