Learning outcomes: Knowledge: student can compare and determine the difference between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of different species of animals and plants ; knows the methods of mapping and sequencing genomes; knows the structure and function of proteins in the cell, has a general knowledge of the techniques of protein identification; knows the techniques of gel electrophoresis of proteins; knows the concept of denaturation, proteome, etc. Skills student can use the selected databases of genomic sequences; can analyze the differences in the structure of simple genomes and determine the functions of the various elements that build them; acquires the ability to prepare denaturing gel, can perform protein electrophoresis in denaturing conditions and in native methods; gains skills of the relevant computer programs used to analyze the spatial structures of proteins.
