MOLECULAR EMBRYOLOGY OF THE MOUSE

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

Invited Speakers: Last year's speakers were:
R. Behringer, A. Bradley, M. Bronner-Fraser, A.Efstratiadis, R. Hammer, P. Koopman, T. Jessell, A. Joyner, R. Lovell-Badge, J. Mann, T. Magnuson, A. McMahon, A. Nagy, V. Papaioannou, L. Parada, E. Rinchik, E. Robertson, J. Rossant, D. Solter, P. Soriano, P.Tam, and D. Wilkinson.

Program:
This course is designed for biologists interested in applying their expertise to the study of mouse embryonic development. Laboratory components provide an intensive introduction into the technical aspects of working with and analyzing mouse embryos, and lecture components provide the conceptual basis for current research. Procedures that will be described include isolation and culture of pre- and post- implantation embryos, oviduct and uterine transfer, formation of aggregation chimeras, isolation of germ layers in gastrulation-state embryos, establishment, culture and genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cell lines, in situ hybridization to whole mounts of embryos, LacZ staining, skeletal preparation, electrofusion, microinjection of DNA into pronuclei, and microinjection of embryonic stem cells into blastocysts.
