| Main
Topics: |
Theoretical
Regular classes included lectures on:
| - |
Gene structures and
patterns of inheritance |
| -
|
Technology for the
development of molecular markers including marker conversion
(cloning of RAPD fragments and development of sequence characterized
amplified region SCAR) markers |
| - |
Analysis
of genetic diversity |
| - |
Recombination linkage,
genetic mapping |
| - |
QTL mapping |
| - |
Marker assisted selection
(MAS) |
| - |
Allelic imbalance
assay for the identification of the determinants of variation
in gene expression. |
Practical
Use of molecular marker techniques:
| - |
Datepalm (Chickpea)
as working materials of choice from which the DNA will be extracted |
| -
|
DNA amplification
using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) |
| - |
DNA amplifications
with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), microsatellites
(SSR), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), |
| - |
Genetic mapping |
| - |
QTL mapping |
