* Note: This introductory course is NOT designed for those students who are doing a predominantly molecular project and have had molecular/genetics lab training at undergrad level, but rather students who have a more ecological/morphological background and are either new to genetics or who have a small genetic component to their project.
Location
Ecogenomics and Bioinformatics Lab, ground floor RN Robertson Building, ANU
