[schedule]
Duration: March 23 - March 27, 2009.
Location: CMB seminar room, Berzelius väg 35, room A216. See map below.
Aim: After completing the course, the student will understand the technology behind the major DNA sequencing platforms available today, and their strengths and limitations; and will know the most important applications, and how they may apply to the student's own research.
Content: The course will cover the following topics: The history of DNA sequencing. Introduction to modern DNA sequencing. Practical considerations, cost, dealing with a deluge of data. Applications - RNA sequencing, ChIP sequencing, metagenomics. Future technologies and applications.
Format: The course consists of lectures by invited speakers, and a site visit. In addition, students will be asked to prepare a presentation of how modern DNA sequecning methods could benefit their own research.
Examination: All lectures are compulsory. In case of absence, lectures can be compensated by a literature assignment and written report. Oral examination in conjunction with the presentation of an individual project of research.
