Forensic Genetics and Massively Parallel Sequencing
This summer, you have the chance of receiving a comprehensive insight into forensic genetics and a broad introduction to massively parallel sequencing (MPS) work including data analysis. Join our summer course and learn more about the fascinating work in forensic genetics, MPS, and get hands-on experience with data analysis within MPS.
The course focuses on relevant forensic topics such as:
•Crime scene investigation and trace samples
•DNA profiling and weight of the evidence
•MPS of forensic genetic markers (SNPs, STRs, and mitochondria)
•Molecular autopsy (sudden cardiac death)
•Paternity and relationship testing
•Future forensic investigation (prediction of age and externally visible characteristics)
Target group
Master students
Course aim
After completing this course, you will be able to understand, analyse, and interpret forensic genetic data. You will be able to understand the latest research and advantages with forensic genetics and MPS work and data analysis. Finally, you will be able to work with command line and understand the common way of analysing MPS data.
