| Ziele/Aims | Get hands-on experience in 'wet lab' molecular biology, by designing, planning and conducting a research project on the molecular basis of sociality in ants. Learn how to apply molecular techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, quantitative PCR, Transposon Display, or ONT long-read sequencing to study the evolutionary mechanisms that have led to the emergence of complex colony structures and division of labor in social insects. Learn how to use the programming language R to process, analyse and visualize the data you produced in the lab. |
| Inhalte/Content | Intraspecific aggression in invasive ants, transposable elements as sources of genetic novelty in ants, phenotypic robustness of the queen and worker caste |
| Methoden/Methods | e.g. PCR, qPCR, DNA/RNA extractions, barcoding, long-read sequencing, in-situ hybridization |
