Course description: High throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are being applied to a wide range of important topics in biology. However, the analyses of non-model organisms, for which little previous sequence information is available, pose specific problems. This course addresses the specific strengths and weaknesses of alternative HTS technologies, the computational resources needed for HTS, and how to analyze non-model species using HTS. The course consists of a practical training module, HTS bioinformatics training, and lecturing/seminars of HTS approaches specifically targeting non-model organisms.

Course description: This is part of the course BI300F 'Scientific Communication and Research Methods' offered to master students in marine ecology and aquaculture at the University of Nordland (Norway) and offers practical training in basic statistical data analysis using the programming language R.

Course description: This is part of the course BI317F 'Evolutionary Genetics' offered to master students in marine ecology and genomics at the University of Nordland (Norway), covering Population Genetics, Genetic structure of populations, Dispersal/Gene flow, and Genetic lab work and data analysis.

Course description: This is part of the course BI123F 'Ecology' offered to bachelor students at the University of Nordland (Norway), and introduces into experimental design, field work and data analysis in the field of ecology with particular emphasis on the marine environment.
