| Learning verification modality | Evaluation is carried out through an oral exam. A typical exam consists in a 30 minutes interview aiming to assess knowledge level and understanding capabilities on theoretical and methodological contents acquired by the student. The oral exam will also test the student communication skills, lexical congruence and consistency when presenting enquired topics. |
| Extended program | Genome organization and functioning: functional units in complex genomes, transcription and gene expression, mobile genetic elements, epigenetic signals; Recombinant DNA: manipulation of genetic material, mapping (genetic and physical maps), molecular markers; New data: Next generation sequencing, assembly of contiguous DNA sequences, interpretation of a genomic sequence; SNP chips and their applications. In silico test desing. |
