Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline that covers the development of modern methods of biological research, designed to outline the range of methods and techniques of research conducted in various fields of biology and / or in a particular biological field to solve a specific scientific and practical problem. research in related sciences and in interdisciplinary projects, and which require in-depth knowledge of the discipline. The course is designed to summarize the student's understanding of the basic methods of working with biological objects of different levels of organization (from individual molecules to entire organisms and their populations), as well as provide students with skills in planning and conducting experimental work using different methods and techniques specific scientific and practical task, statistical processing of the obtained data and interpretation of the experimental results.
