Different molecular biology topics and methods useful in biodiversity science:

• Setting up a laboratory for molecular biology
• Good practices for sample collection; and DNA extraction methods
• Quantitative real time PCR, usually form cDNA
• Sequence similarity search, and tips on parsing large BLAST output files
• Sequence similarity search with batch Blast to NCBI, and parsing the output file
• Bioinformatic tools to detect microsatellites loci from genomic data
• High throughput sequencing for genetic diversity
