Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of the courses "General Microbiology", "Metabolism of Microorganisms", "Antibiotics", "Physiology of Anaerobic Microorganisms", "Bioinformatics", "Biophysics". 2. Ability to independently apply knowledge from the above disciplines, to navigate in modern methods of molecular biology, bioinformatics. 3. Possession of skills in processing scientific literature, bioinformatics analysis and data analysis, work with materials and equipment used in the microbiological laboratory.
Course content
The objects of study of the discipline are microorganisms and their genetic elements in the context of their evolution and use as tools and objects of genetic engineering. The discipline considers on the one hand the participation of mobile genetic elements in the instability of genomes and their determination of evolutionary changes in the bacterial population, as a basis for understanding their function, and on the other hand - modern technologies in which they are used. The main trends of microbiological genetic engineering technologies in the era of postgenomics, as well as prospects for the use of technologies and mobile genetic elements in the era of multiple resistance to antibiotics.
