Modul 15E - Molecular basis for the work with gene-modified animals

This one day course provides the participants with tools to work with gene-modified animals with a focus on small rodents. 

Participants of the course will learn:

• The different techniques for generation of gene-modified animals
• The different artificial allele types used in research and their annotation
• Required controls in experiments with gene-modified animals
• Basic breeding rules and practices
• Establishment of typing protocols
• Reverse engineering of gene-modifications

After lectures introducing the basics in these topics participants solve practical problems typically arising during the course of a project involving gene-modified animal. The solutions will be discussed.

Participants of the course will be able to understand the different types of gene-modification, appreciate the risks involved in their use, establish breedings and typing protocols.
