Schedule of Topics
Week 1 - Intro Week 2 - Gene Discovery (Amanda & Kristy) Week 3 - Bioinformatics (Lisa & Mac) Week 4 - Epigenetics (Jennifer & Amanda) Week 5 - Next Generation Sequencing Technology (Bethany & Lisa) Week 6 - Molecular Diagnostics (Jess & Carl) Community Ecology (Jess & Jennifer) Week 7 - QRT-PCR (Angela & Carl) Week 8 - Microarrays (Mac & Bethany) Week 9 - Proteomics (John & Kristy) Week-10 - Metabolomics (John & Angela) || include component="pageList" tag="sch" || Intro Discovery......... Bioinformatics Epigenetics NGS MD & CE G Expression Microarrays Proteomics Metabolomics || //Bonus Pages// Web2.0 || This course will provide students (both field and lab-centric) a //**forum to discuss**// innovations in molecular techniques that have recently evolved to play major roles is basic scientific research and natural resource management decisions.

**Format**: Each week we will discuss an application of molecular technology in the aquatic sciences. This discussion will be based around a selected research topic. Each week two persons will be responsible for leading the discussion and responsible for the respective wiki. A separate page (see above) will be generated for each week. While the designated presenter will be primarily responsible for compiling relevant information, //**all are encouraged to contribute throughout this wiki just as in class**//. The class is open to anyone.


 * Expectations**: Students will contribute to the educational atmosphere by completing reading assignments, contributing ideas, and asking questions. Of course participation includes classroom discussion but this also includes contributions to the site.


 * Purpose:**
 * 1) To provide fundamental understanding of current and developing laboratory techniques that can be used to address natural resource issues.
 * 2) To prepare students for their own research, including introducing primarily field-based students to techniques that will complement traditional approaches.
 * 3) To foster interdisciplinary interactions among students.
