| Course Content | |||||||||||||
| The course provides the basis for understanding the general theoretical and practical possibilities for working with pro- and eukaryot genomes and products from these. Furthermore, the course provides a basis for understanding the general principles related to molecular pathology and diagnostics. The course is based on "state-of-the-art" molecular biological techniques and it provides an introduction to Bioimaging and sophisticated use of microscopy. | |||||||||||||
