Cytogenetics
Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice
Course mission: To provide detailed knowledge of functional organisation of the genome, chromosome structures and their function, the course of mitotic and meiotic divisions with emphasis on their significance for the transfer of genetic information in somatic and germ cells, and mechanisms of genome evolution. An overview of cytogenetic methods including advanced techniques of molecular cytogenetics is also given.
