Research in genomic and transcriptomic fields currently conducted on various marine organisms by several research teams from the Marine Biological Station in Roscoff (micro and macroalgae, invertebrates) allows to perform both theoretical and practical teaching of functionnal genomic.

Aims

Relations between ecosystems and organisms that are living in is complex and can be studied at various biological levels. Understanding of the response of marine organisms to environmental changes at a molecular level is an open field in marine studies. The biological marine station of Roscoff possess both competences and plateforms that are necessary to the organization of an intensive summer course dedicated to the use of functional genomic in marine organism research. The course is open to master students and will provide: .
1) an overview of technologies used in functional genomic to study the molecular response of marine organisms (mainly algae and invertebrates species) facing to environmental challenge.
(2) theoretical and practical knowledge of molecular biology technologies used in functional genomic (essentially transcriptomic and genomic).

Thematics

Theoretical lessons

Theoretical lessons will be dedicated to :

• Overview of technologies associated with genomic
• Highlights on transcriptomic
• Data analyses
• Use of genomic indifferent field (environmental studies, ecotoxicology, development,etc…)

Practical works

• Quantitative PCR
• Micro-array
• Data analyses

Personnal works

A personal work will be required: written bibliographic analysis and oral presentation of data obtained and analysed during the practical skills

Application

Destined mainly for masters students from French and foreign universities, these courses are also open to candidates whose professional activities require knowledge in marine biology and ecology.

Inscription will occur after acceptance of the candidature by the lecturer responsible for the course (Application form).
This form must be returned by the 15th May 2010.

Selection will be based on the candidate's experience and motivation. Application forms must be completed by a support letter from the candidate's home institute explaining the relevance of the course to the student.

Accomodation

No inscription fee for the course.

Accommodation can be provided on demand - single or double rooms depending on availability.
From Monday to Friday students can take their lunch and (depending on the number of people) evening meals in the CNRS restaurant.
On weekends students will have access to a fully equipped kitchen (oven, fridge, microwawe, dishes) The kitchen is situated in the third floor of the building YD.

2010 RATE :
Room + breakfast : 10 € per day
Lunch and diner: 6 € per meal.

Station Biologique de Roscoff

La Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR) est un centre de recherche et d'enseignement en biologie marine et océanologie. Située sur la côte nord de Bretagne au bord d'une mer à fortes marées, la SBR présente dans son voisinage immédiat une exceptionnelle variété de biotopes, pour la plupart accessibles à marée basse, et peuplés d'une très grande diversité d'espèces marines animales (3000) et végétales (700).
