Syllabus -

Practical course includes lab work (part A), interpretation of the sequencer data and preparing data matrices (part B), and data analysis (part C).

A: lab work

A1. DNA sequencing

  • PCR amplification of the target DNA region (trnL-trnF or other non-coding cpDNA region, ITS…)
  • agarose gel electrophoresis (test of successful PCR amplification)
  • cleaning of PCR fragments using kit
  • PCR product quantification (photometrically)
  • cycle sequencing using ABI PRISM BigDye Terminator v3.1 kit
  • product precipitation
  • sequencing run at ABI 3100 Avant (Biological section of the Faculty of Science)

A2. AFLP

  • total DNA restriction using AFLP Core Reagent Kit (Invitrogen)
  • adaptor ligation
  • preamplification using AFLP Pre-Amp Primer Mix I (Invitrogen)
  • selective amplification with fluorescence-labelled primers
  • PCR product precipitation, mixing with ROX internal standard
  • fragment analysis run at ABI 3100 Avant (Biological section of the Faculty of Science)

A3. microsatellites

  • use of specific nuclear primers (PCR reaction)
  • use of universal chloroplast primers (PCR reaction)
  • agarose gel electrophoresis (test of successful PCR amplification)
  • PCR product precipitation, mixing with ROX internal standard
  • fragment analysis run at ABI 3100 Avant (Biological section of the Faculty of Science)

B: sequencer data interpretation

B1. DNA sequencing

  • Bayesian analysis (MrBayes)

C2. AFLP

  • tree building (TreeCon)
