About
Would you like to learn how to generate mouse embryos and electroporate zygotes to generate new genetic models? If so, join us at our upcoming "Making and Genetically Manipulating Mouse Embryos" workshop to learn this and much more!
This hands-on workshop teaches participants to make and manipulate mouse embryos to generate new genetic models and efficiently manage mouse strains.
Hands-On Techniques Covered Include:
- Zygote generation and electroporation for mouse model development (such as using CRISPR/Cas9 technology)
- Embryo and sperm cryopreservation and recovery
- Surgical and non-surgical embryo transfer
- In-vtiro fertilization
- Vasectomy
- Superovulation
- Ovarian Transplantation
- Inducing Pseudopregnancy
Topics covered will include cryobiology and strain archival, colony expansion, strain rescue, rederivation, genetic stability and how to overcome breeding problems using ARTs. Aseptic surgical techniques, biomethods and project planning will also be covered.
Participants will be taught by leading experts in the field and will obtain the information they need to implement these techniques when they return to their institution.
*Completion of this workshop may be used for continuing educational units for AALAS re-certification.
The 2020 schedule is still under construction. Please view the 2019 schedule for planning purposes. The 2020 check-in date is Monday, May 25 and the check-out date is Friday, May 29.
