The objective of the course is to teach main aspects of DNA sequencing
and to show the participants how to carry out DNA sequencing in the
framework of their own research projects. The latest methods,
strategies and applications will be discussed and extensively
practised or demonstrated in the laboratory. Lectures and seminars
will complete the program of the course. The course is intended mainly
for Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientists. The selection of=20
participants will be on the basis of their scientific background and
the importance of the course techniques for their own research.
Practical laboratory course program includes:
Random and directed cloning strategies
Preparation of template DNA
Labelling techniques
Cycle sequencing
Comparison of sequencing enzymes
Automation and robotics
Computer assembly and sequence analysis
There will be lectures on special topics from invited speakers,
blackboard sessions for the practicals and demonstrations and
presentations of the participants about their own field of interest
and research. The course consists of about 75% practical work and 25%
lectures and seminars.
For application to the course no forms are necessary, to apply please
send only a formal letter including a short c.v., a statement about
your current research and a list of recent publications to:
