Learning outcomes
The aim of this intensive course is to introduce students to
molecular methodologies underlying functional genetics.
Participants will be able to understand and plan experimental
strategies to analize gene function through the use of transgenic
animals.
Course contents
Laboratory experiences will illustrate how molecular genetic applications and experimental strategies are used in the context of a specific biological problem.
Readings/Bibliography
Experimental protocol and scientific articles.
Teaching methods
Lectures focusing on the specific biological problem and on
evaluation of different experimental approaches. Each student will
perform the selected experimental plan. Lab activity will be
followed by discussion of the results.
Assessment methods
Laboratory report that describes the specific biological problem, experimental plan and interprets the obtained results.
Teaching tools
Protocols describing the daily experimental procedures will be
supplied to each student. All reagents and instruments will be
provided.
