Kompetenzziele | Goals of the Module: to expand the knowledge about classical cytogenetics and molecular genetics as well as modern cyto- and molecular genetics technics applied in clinical diagnostics and research. Competencies: ++ deepened biological and clinical expertise (cytogenetics and molecular genetics) ++ deepened knowledge of biological working methods and clinical diagnostics (classical cyto- and molecular genetics laboratory methods) ++ data analysis skills + interdisciplinary thinking ++ critical and analytical thinking + independent searching and knowledge of scientific literature ++ ability to perform independent biological research + data presentation and discussion (written and spoken) + team work + project and time management |
Modulinhalte | The module focuses on genome- and gene mutations, cyto- and molecular genetics, human syndromes and diseases caused by different chromosomal aberrations. Lecture: essentials of classical cytogenetics and molecular genetics, classification of mutations, genetics syndromes/diseases, introduction to the genetic diagnostic laboratory techniques Exercises: chromosomal stainings, microscopy, karyotyping, identification of chromosomal aberrations, identification of gene mutations |
