Annotation -
This course of genetics is designed for master students of Parasitology and Infection Biology. The previous basic knowledge of genetics and molecular biology is expected and will be revised during seminar. The“first aid“ will be given for students (if needed). Seminar is an integral part of the course. By solving theoretical tasks , discussions and by examining microscopic samples, you get enhanced knowledge of genetics.
Specific features of genetics of parasites and their vectors will be mentioned to complete information based on analysis in model organisms.
At the end of the course you get good knowledge of transmission genetics, cytogenetics and you will understand the principles of genome analysis and molecular taxonomy.

Evaluation criteria:
To get a credit from the course, you are required:
To attend seminars regularly (minimum 60%)
To pass successfully „Solving Problems Test“ = to get 40% points at minimum
To solve problems during semester (at Moodle): at least 2 successfully solved (about 10 possible)

The exam is combined from written test and oral exam. Also your additional activity during semester can improve your final result. The written test is composed of 10 questions covering all presented topics. Each answer is rated 0 - 4 points.
