Professional competences:

After successfully completing this module, students are able to specify the organization and function of genes and genomes. They can describe plant tissue culture and differentiate plant tissues. Students are able to illustrate sequencing technologies and are proficient in the corresponding bioinformatics. They can outline gene isolation and transgenic applications, while being familiar with mutations and mutants and genome-wide data generation and its use. Finally, students are able to competently extract and use genetic information and critically evaluate transgene technology.

Key competences:

During preparation for the exam and while preparing and following up on lectures, students practice self-reliance, time management, interpersonal communication and cooperation. Challenged with scientific problems, they practice critical and analytical thinking.
