Training activity information
Details
Perform and interpret two of the following molecular methods:
- FISH
- PCR
- Sequencing/high throughput sequencing
- Copy number assessment (e.g. cytogenetics, MPLA, SNP array)
- Expression analysis
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
