ADVANCED BACTERIAL GENETICS

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, New York
June 6 - 26, 1997

Program:
The laboratory course will present logic and methods used in the genetic dissection of complex biological processes in bacteria. The methods to be presented include: mutagenesis using transposons, mutator strains, and chemical and physical mutagens; mapping mutations using genetic and physical techniques; generation and analysis of gene fusions; molecular cloning; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Southern blot analysis; epitope insertion mutagenesis; and site-directed mutagenesis. A key component of the course will be the use of sophisticated genetic methods in the analysis of "undomesticated" bacteria. Invited lecturers will describe the use of genetic approaches to study biological processes in a variety of bacteria.
