This session will cover an introduction to current techniques and the best approaches to perform a range of mutations in the mouse, including pro-nuclear injection and the use of mouse embryonic stem cells for gene targeting.
The second part of the session will cover the use of DNA sequence specific nucleases; The current state of the technology and it’s likely future development.
Places reserved for IRB Barcelona alumni.
