In addition to small mutations in the genome, like the deletion, insertion or substitution of single bases, larger, so called structural variations, like the deletion, insertion, rearrangement, inversion or duplication of whole segments of the genome sequence, play an important role, e.g., in the development of cancer. High-throughput whole-genome sequencing enables detecting structural variations in several ways.
This is a classical literature seminar, i.e., on the first day, topics are introduced and selected by the students. In following sessions, students give a presentation on their topic and afterwards write an essay (“Hausarbeit”). Aspects of scientific writing and presenting will be covered as well.
Talks and essays can be done in German or English.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
