NS 4900
Manipulating the Mouse Genome

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Functional genomics has relied upon tools for manipulating the mouse genome.  This course explores those tools, including transgenesis, gene targeting using ES cells and CRISPR/cas, gene trapping, chemical mutagenesis, use of induced pluripotent stem cells, and cloning by nuclear transplant. Also discussed are use of recombinant inbred mice and genome-wide association studies for complex trait analysis. 

When Offered Fall (weeks 1-7).

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: BIOMG 2800, BIOMG 3300, BIOMG 3320 or BIOMG 3330, or NS 3200.

Comments Meets during first half of semester and provides background information for VTBMS 7010/TOX 7010 Mouse Pathology and Transgenesis, which meets during second half. Students interested in both courses must register for them separately.

Outcomes
  • Upon completing this course, students will be able to design strategies using these methods to address practical problems in experimental mammalian genetics.
