<br>
capture, genome sequencing) will be of particular importance. The
laboratory centralises, runs
<br>
and coordinates the molecular genetic equipment and software as
well as its usage in scientific
<br>
projects at the CeNak. New methods are to be established and

<br>
publishing in scientific journals and presenting at international
conferences. A contribution in
<br>
teaching Bachelor's and Master's courses is expected, the teaching
duties include 2 hours per
