No. of contact hours: 1 hour every two weeks
Capacity limits: 20 participants

 

Objectives of the course:
The course is a journal club where current topics within the field of chromatin and gene regulation biology are discussed with a particular focus on germline biology. The aim of the course is to present and discuss novel discoveries in genome regulation and through this obtain a general understanding of relevant theoretical approaches, experimental techniques, and bioinformatic tools.

 

Learning outcomes and competences:
At the end of the course the students should be able to:

  • Identify, summarize, analyze and present a relevant scientific paper
  • Constructively criticize presented scientific paper

     

Compulsory programme:
The student is expected to read the relevant papers, participate actively in discussions of the papers and to present on a regular basis.

 

Course contents:
One meeting every two weeks to discuss a scientific paper. One student selects a paper in advance and presents it at the meeting.
