| Original study plan |
Doctoral programme Medical Sciences 2024W |
| Objectives |
Students will learn what the ecDNAs are and what their function is. Students will perform premature chromosome condensation (PCC) to produce metaphase chromosomes and do DAPI staining to visualize ecDNAs. Students will perform fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) stainings to detect amplified oncogenes on ecDNA in human cancer cells (cell culture practice is optional). Students will prepare slides and observe the staining results using fluorescent microscope
