3rd Programmable nucleases (CRISPR/Cas9) – Transgenesis Course

The course is designed to give practical, hands-on training in current technologies and methods employing programmable nucleases (CRISPR/Cas9) – mediated genome manipulations in the generation of mice mutants.

Date: April 16-20, 2018
Place: Prague-Vestec (BIOCEV), Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (hosted by the Institute of Molecular Genetics)

Participants will gain theoretical knowledge from our expert instructors and have the opportunity for discussion during our evening social events including the opportunity for expert insight for your own individual project.

Participants will learn how to:

• Apply the targeting tools and validate CRISPR activity
• Deliver targeting tools into zygotes
• Identify CRISPR induced genomic modifications
