A seminar on forensic DNA analysis for students from the VHL University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands was held at the UCT Prague Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology from August 29 to September 2 .
Participants in the seminar listened to lectures on the history of DNA analysis, tried methods of quantification of DNA profiling using short tandem repetitions, and had the opportunity to isolate their own DNA, obtaining a DNA profile exactly as is the case in forensic identification or in determining paternity. The week-long seminar is held annually, usually before the winter semester begins. The current fee for the seminar, taught in both English and Czech, is €250 per person.
