The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA
Judly 18-30, 2004
This two week course includes daily lectures in the mornings and evenings supplemented by afternoon mini-symposia, workshops tutorials, and demonstrations. There is special emphasis on student-faculty interaction. The faculty is diverse in terms of disciplines and the students in terms of stage of career and fields of concentration. This diversity makes for an exciting experience for all. The content of the Short Course focuses on (1) an up-to-date presentation of genetics in experimental animals and humans, (2) the relationship of heredity to disease in experimental animals and humans, and (3) the importance of molecular genetics in the diagnosis and treatment of inherited disorders. The development and uses of modern techniques in bioinformatics, mathematical genetics, genome manipulation, mutagenesis, and phenotyping are taught in lectures and in afternoon workshop sessions. As in the past, the Short Course includes an implicit focus on translational biology and clinical applications. The 2004 course will end with a special scientific symposium on Friday July 30th in celebration of the 75th anniversary of The Jackson Laboratory.This course is a joint effort of The Jackson Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University.
