This research module can be flexibly tailored to the students' interest and curiosity. Our team uses various tools and approaches to understand the underlying genetics of the fascinating phenotype bird migration. This module offers the possibility to get insight and experience in a wide range of topics ranging from behavioural experiments both in the field and under controlled conditions, lab based analyses, modelling approaches all the way up to bioinformatics skills of genome or transcriptome data. We are happy to discuss possible projects and are happy to hear your ideas for questions you would want to address, techniques you want to learn or insight you would be curious to gain through this module.
