Efter assemblering av data, genererade med nya sekvenseringsmetoder såsom ”next generation sequencing”, måste resultatet knytas till den bakomliggande biologiska frågeställningen. Det innebär att den fortsatta analysen kommer att kräva olika bioinformatiska metoder. Kursen ger exempel på ett stort antal bioinformatiska tillämpningar för att besvara olika frågeställningar, t.ex. klassificering av gAfter assembling of data, generated by new sequencing methods such as "next generation sequencing", the results must be linked to the underlying biological questions. It implies that the subsequent analysis will require different bioinformatics methods. The course gives example of a large number of bioinformatics applications to answer different issues e.g. classification of genetic variants ("var

Kursen är en avancerad kurs i Ekologi och kan ses som en del i en utbildning inom naturvård. Övergripande målsättning för kursen är att studenterna ska lära sig att med minimal tid i fält skaffa sig maximal kunskap om naturen med utgångspunkt i vad det insamlade materialet skall användas till. Övervakning av naturen innebär i sin strängaste betydelse att undersökaren vet vilken förändring som kan The main objective of this course is that you learn to optimise time in the field in order to obtain maximum information about the conditions and status of the natural environment. Monitoring of nature is based on that the investigator knows what change is expected and can construct a programme, including collection of data and material, which can detect a particular change. You may also do a gene
