This is a module for third semester Master students with a ring lecture open to all students interested in LMU Genetics from all semesters!

Small RNAs in Plant-Microbe Interactions

Recent discoveries in host-microbe interactions, genetics and genomics

General Information:

Please enroll via the key: RDL.

Lecture recommended for master students in their third semester which are doing a lab rotation in genetics or take the lecture as an interdisciplinary subject. 

In addition, the ring lecture (or individual lectures of this series) is open to students from all semesters that are interested in LMU genetics.

Module "Advanced Genetics in host-microbe interactions" with the seminar "Current Research Results in Genetics" (only for students doing their lab rotation in genetics) and the practical course "Genetics of host microbe interaction" (time and topics will be arranged according to the subjects of the lab rotations).
