learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course, the student:
- describes the main characteristics of yeast cells;
- explains and compares the life cycles and cell cycles of different yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida albicans);
- distinguishes between the main research methods used in yeast genetics and explains their underlying principles;
- correctly uses yeast genetic nomenclature;
- independently uses yeast genome databases;
- applies appropriate laboratory methods and techniques when working with yeasts.
