Università Roma Tre

The course of Microbial Genetics is organized to provide the student with: (i) adequate knowledge and understanding of advanced methodologies in bacterial genetics, appropriate methodologies and communication skills for the study of genotype-phenotype relationships in bacteria; (ii) adequate applied knowledge for the evaluation of experimental approaches, and for retrieving and critically reviewing relevant scientific literature from on-line databases (making judgments).

The aims of the course are: (i) the acquisition of advanced knowledge on the evolution and functioning of bacterial genomes and extrachromosomal genetic elements, and on the approaches that can be used to investigate these topics; (ii) the acquisition of critical knowledge for the choice and design of experimental protocols; (iii) the acquisition of knowledge and skills for retrieving relevant scientific literature from on-line databases and for critically reviewing it.
