| This course provides laboratory training for advanced students (master, doctoral or post-doctoral level) in how to measure and collect genetic diversity data. Various DNA/RNA extraction methods, quality control measurements, SNP genotyping and gene expression techniques will be addressed. After an introduction (one afternoon), students will have three weeks to work in groups of two on different protocols according to their timetable. At the end, the whole group meets for another afternoon to present the techniques/results and to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques. Examples: RNA/DNA extraction, SNP genotyping, real-time qPCR. | |

| Open for PhD students. Priority will be given to PhD students of the PhD programs in Plant Sciences and Science & Policy. Postdocs if places available. | |
| No prior knowledge about the techniques presented is required. However, we expect that people have some lab experience. | |

| Students have to attend on the two afternoons (8 hours) and do the individual work in between (around 52 hours). At the end they have to present their technique and their results in a talk. | |
