Zusammen mit Dozenten aus Basel, Fribourg und Saarbrücken bietet Dr. Daniel Bopp einen 2-wöchigen Kurs (BIO 385) in Banyuls (Süd-Frankreich) an, in dem die faszinierende Vielfalt der Lebensformen im marinen Milieu vorgestellt wird.  Es werden insbesondere die phylogenetischen und ontogenetischen Mechanismen, welche diese Vielfalt hervorbingen, diskutiert und im Praktikum untersucht.

Weitere Informationen zum Kurs finden Sie hier und hier oder vom Kursleiter Dr. Daniel Bopp. Anmeldungen per eMail an Dr. Daniel Bopp.

a new course on ‚next generation sequencing‚ will be offered from Sept 3. – 6. 2013  (2 credit points)

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized almost all fields in biology and are changing the practice of medicine. With the falling equipment and sequencing costs, they are becoming indispensable techniques in research and diagnostic laboratories.

As a joint state-of-the-art research and training facility of the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, the NGS team at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ) offers a four-day course with hands-on practicals. The aim is to help students, researchers, and medical professionals mastering fast developed NGS technologies. The lectures cover NGS technologies, their applications and data analysis principles. The practicals consists of sequencing library preparation from gDNA, sequencing run set up on bench top sequencer, and sequencing data analysis.
