Title: Molecular Identification using RAPD Markers 

Training Objectives:

       -    To provide basic understanding of molecular diversity and species identification.

       -    To provide information on PCR and RAPD markers.

       -    To build experimental skills by hands-on schedules on RAPD analysis.

Program Details:

Day 1-

       -    Lecture on molecular diversity

       -    Laboratory-DNA extraction

       -    Laboratory-Quantification of DNA

Day 2-

       -    Laboratory-PCR for RAPD markers

       -    Laboratory-Agarose gel electrophoresis

       -    Laboratory-Gel documentation and image analysis

Who Should Attend?

       -    Undergraduate and graduate students who have research interest in molecular fingerprinting, biodiversity or molecular conservation are the potential beneficiaries from this course. 

       -    The maximum number of attendants in the coarse should not exceed (9) due to limited space in the laboratory.

Course Duration: 2 days
