Cold Spring Harbor Course
Advanced Bacterial Genetics
June 7 - 27, 2000
Instructors:
Bonnie Bassler, Princeton University
Colin Manoil, University of Washington, Seattle
James Slauch, University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana

The laboratory course will present logic and methods used in the genetic 
dissection of complex biological processes in bacteria. The methods to
be 
presented include: mutagenesis using transposons, mutator strains, and 
chemical and physical mutagens; mapping mutations using genetic and 
physical techniques; generation and analysis of gene fusions; molecular 
cloning; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Southern blot analysis; epitope 
insertion mutagenesis; and site-directed mutagenesis. A key component of 
the course will be the use of sophisticated genetic methods in the
analysis 
of pathogenic and "undomesticated" bacteria. Invited lecturers will 
describe the use of genetic approaches to study biological processes in
a 
variety of bacteria.
