Please note, the lectures are given in Czech language only. Study literature and tutorials can be given in English. Practical introduction to the methods of molecular markers in DNA lab at the Department of Botany. Students will learn methods of DNA extraction from plant material and PCR optimization. In the second part RAPD and PCR-RFLP methods will be demonstrated.
