PR20. On the basis of in-depth knowledge of natural sciences to form an idea of ​​the laws of individual and historical development of biological systems at different levels of organization, the role of systemic processes in their formation, functioning and plasticity, features of their cooperative interaction.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the general information of the courses "Genetics", "Microbiology", "Botany", "Zoology", "Immunology" and "Virology". Be able to independently apply knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, etc. disciplines, perform laboratory and practical work, work with scientific and methodological literature.

Course content
The course "Symbiosis Genetics" is devoted to general information about symbiosis as a genetically integrated system, which includes a range of evolutionary relationships and related genetic changes in symbiotes. and currently known mechanisms of their integration: genetic gene transfer, pathogen-host interaction, exchange of genetic information in the structure of holobiotes, mycorrhizae, microbiomes, etc. Special attention is paid to genetic processes in the emergence of new species. -biological and genetic approaches to the study of holobionts and groups of microorganisms.
