Note: Courses are chosen in consultation with your study advisor, and should be complementary to and not overlapping with the courses you took at your first university (NMBU).
- Compulsory courses:
- ABG60306 Breeding Lab6 ECTSThe course is scheduled as a combination of a ‘group internship’ at a given company and a set of skills training and exercises. Groups of students will do a domain-related assignment. This assignment should comply with the following criteria: it should be a commissioned multidisciplinary assignment, concern a real authentic case, offer a certain level of complexity, reflecting various interests and stakeholders, and it should require an academic level to address the issue.
- MAT20306 Advanced Statistics6 ECTSThis course covers several more advanced statistical models and associated designs, and techniques for statistical inference, as relevant to life science studies. Students will be able to perform analysis of data with statistical software, i.e. with R-Studio.
- Restricted optional courses:Students need to take at least one out of these two courses.
- 1. GEN30806 Population and Quantitative Genetics6 ECTSThis course explains genetic and molecular evolution and their relationship to phenotypic evolution, of natural, captive and domesticated populations of living organisms, ranging from microbes to plants and animals. The course deals with the dynamics of genetic variation, by evaluating the effect of and the equilibrium between mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and migration. Furthermore, it deals with the translation of genotypic variation to phenotypic variation in interaction with environmental variation. Understanding the dynamics of genetic variation, and its translation to a phenotype, is not only important for understanding past and predicting future evolutionary change, but also for its relationship to biodiversity.
- 2. ABG30806 Data Analysis for Breeders6 ECTSData analysis is central to both plant and animal breeding, and the size and complexity of phenotypic and genomic data sets continue to increase. Thus, the ability to analyse and interpret such large data sets is an essential skill for breeders, both in science and industry. In this course you will become familiar with state-of-the-art methods and skills for quantitative genetic analysis of breeding data, both for animals and plants. This is a hands-on course, where you develop the skills to analyze real-life data and handle real-life problems in genetic analysis.
- Suggested courses:
- ABG31806 Wildlife Conservation Genetics6 ECTSIn this course, we will start by discussing the basic concepts of conservation genetics. We will discuss how to measure genetic variation using pedigree and molecular data. We also discuss the various evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation in both wild and captive populations. The relevance of biodiversity in relation to scientific, ethical and societal questions will be dealt with in a variety of (guest) lectures.
- MAE40306 Advanced Molecular Ecology6 ECTSThe course discusses how to obtain data on the biodiversity (species diversity and genomic diversity) and adaptation of organisms to changing environments. This is done by applying DNA sequencing technology to study a diversity of samples including eDNA from water samples. Through lectures and tutorials, this course will introduce the main principles underlying biodiversity and genetic diversity assessment using DNA sequencing. Characterisation of diversity, from within species to species communities, will be used to infer ecosystem functioning and infer response to a changing environment.
- BHE32306 Life History Evolution6 ECTSThe course will cover basic life history theory by highlighting major decisions animals have to make with respect to reproduction and adaptation. Life history decisions are very fundamental for wildlife biology as they affect fitness and thus animal biodiversity through natural selection. The course will focus on life history in vertebrates.
- ABG30306 Genomics6 ECTSThe course discusses the structure and function of genomes of organisms from all kingdoms. The topics that are treated cover:
– chromosome structure and topology;
– genome sequencing, genome assembly and functional annotation;
– whole genome sequence analysis; genome synteny and evolution;
– transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq; single-cell omics; epigenomics
– functional genome analysis;
– variation in genomes.
