Centro de Ciências do Mar (CCMAR)General information
WORKSHOP IN MARINE GENOMICS - Guest speaker J. Mark Cock (Roscoff Marine Station). Mark obtained his PhD from Leeds University in 1985 and worked during his early career on several aspects of terrestrial plant biology including nitrogen metabolism, nodulation and self-incompatibility. In 2002, Mark moved to the Station Biologique de Roscoff (France) where he initiated a project aimed at developing the filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus as a genetic model species for the phaeophyceae. Mark applies genetic and genomic approaches to identify key regulators of developmental processes, such as life cycle regulation and sex determination, and to dissect the regulatory pathways.
DESCRIPTION: Learn the theory and practice of Marine Genomics through specialist tuition and hands-on practical exercises. The course details all aspects of the genomic analysis of marine organisms, and requires no previous specialist knowledge. Participants will take part in seminar-style sessions, with theory interspersed with computational exercises and one-to-one tuition. See the programme below for details.
FORMAT: 3-day workshop consisting of lectures, and hands-on practical sessions on computers. Participants will use computational equipment provided by the workshop, but may also wish to bring laptops. The course is equivalent to 3 European ECTS credits.
