We teach several courses, three of them are highlighted here:

Master course “Bioinformatics for Biologists”: Here you can learn how to work in a Linux/Unix environment and programming in R, analyze your own Next-Generation-Sequencing data, perform data analysis and carry out a 3 days project in a small group. This is relevant for many specializations of the curriculum.

Master course “Epigenetics in Plants, animals and fungi”: In this course you will get to know general concepts in epigenetics and epigenomics and their conservation across kingdoms. As we use plants and alga in the practical part, in which you learn computational, molecular and cytological methods to study epigenetics, this course is also relevant for the specializations “Molecular and Cellular Biology” and “Molecular Plant Sciences”.

Master course “Human Evolution”: This course deals with human evolution from multiple different angles, such as genomics, transcriptomics, evolution of the brain and cognition, traits of our ancestors and ethical issues. Computational tools will be used throughout the course.
