Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of biology and genetics of the principal model organisms, in relation to their use in the field of biology and biotechnology. During the course, the role of each model in the post-genomic era will be defined, describing the principal applications in contemporary research. Moreover, the most advanced methodologies for genetic manipulation currently applied in biomedical, pharmacological, and environmental areas, will be described.
Program
Descrizione delle caratteristiche generali degli organismi modello. Inquadramento filogenetico e comparazione tra gli organismi modello maggiormente utilizzati nella ricerca biologica e Biotecnologica come ad esempio i lieviti S. cerevisiae e S. pompe, i protisti e Tetrahymena e Dictyostelium, l'alga Chlamydomonas, la pianta A. thaliana, il nematode C. elegans, l’insetto Drosophila, il pesce D. rerio, l’anfibio Xenopus, l'uccello G. gallus, il mammifero M. musculus. Analisi del ciclo vitale e riproduttivo dei principali organismi modello. Analisi delle caratteristiche dei singoli organismi modello in relazione al loro impiego in studi genetici e ricerche biologiche e biotecnologiche. Analisi degli strumenti genetici e molecolari e loro applicabilità nei diversi organismi modello sia nell’ambito della ricerca di base che in ambito applicativo.

Examination Methods
L’esame avrà lo scopo i) di determinare la comprensione dello studente riguardo agli argomenti trattati durante le lezioni; ii) di valutare la capacità di collegamento delle competenze acquisite a potenziali applicazioni in ambito biotecnologico. L’esame consiste in una prova scritta che verterà sugli argomenti trattati a lezione e reperibili sui testi consigliati e sul materiale didattico fornito dal docente. L'esame è strutturato in modo da spaziare su tutti gli argomenti trattati, per accertare la conoscenza dell'intero programma di insegnamento. La modalità di esame sarà la stessa per studenti frequentanti e non frequentanti.
