The course is intended to introduce students to the use of model experimental systems in modern
biological research. The course covers prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems including microbial
(Escherichia coli) and single cells eukaryotes (fungi); invertebrate (Caenorhabditis elegans,
Drosophila melanogaster) and vertebrate (mice, zebra fish) systems and plants (moss, algae and
Arabidopsis thaliana). Use of these systems in basic and applied research will be examined.
