AFLP: a tool box for studies of population genetic
Course description
Researchers in the field of molecular ecology and evolution require versatile and low-cost genetic typing methods. The AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) method was introduced 13 years ago and shows many features that fulfil these requirements. With good quality genomic DNA at hand, it is relatively easy to generate anonymous multilocus DNA profiles in most species and the start-up time before data can be generated is often less than a week. Built-in dynamic, yet simple modifications make it possible to find a protocol suitable to the genome size of the species and to screen thousands of loci in hundreds of individuals for a relatively low cost.
Course organization
The course will be run for 5 days during one week. It is laboratory based, providing hands-on experience with all steps in the AFLP procedure, along with the necessary theory.
This course is given jointly by GENECO and the Lund University Programme of Postgraduate Courses in the Life Sciences.
