Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
June 3-23, 2009
This intensive laboratory and lecture course is designed for biologists interested in applying their expertise to the study of mouse development. Lectures provide the conceptual basis
for contemporary research inmouse embryogenesis and organogenesis, while laboratory practicals provide extensive hands-on introduction to mouse embryo analysis. Experimental techniques to be covered include in vitro culture and manipulation of pre- and post-implantationembryos, embryo transfer, culture and genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells, production of chimeras by embryo aggregation and by ES cell injection, and transgenesis by pronuclear microinjection. In addition, this year's practicals will feature increased emphasis on phenotypic analysis of mutants, including techniques of histology, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, skeletal preparation, organ culture, and tissue recombination. The course will also introduce the generation of iPS cells (induced pluripotent cells) and time-lapse microscopy of early gastrulation embryos and organ cultures (eye, kidney and gut).
