Laboratory components provide an introduction into the technical aspects of working with and analyzing mouse embryos, and lectures provide the conceptual basis for contemporary research in mouse development. Experimental techniques that will be covered in the practicals include in vitro culture and manipulation of pre- and post-implantation embryos, transgenesis by DNA microinjection, embryo transfer, establ ishment, culture and genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells, production of chimaeras by aggregation with and injection of embryonic stem cells and the analysis of development by whole mount in situ hybridization, skeletal preparation and transgene expression. Last year's speakers were: Siew-Lan Ang, Richard Behringer, Benoit de Crombrugghe, Achim Gossler, Richard Harvey, Brigid Hogan, Nancy Jenkins, Alexandra Joyner, Peter Koopman, Robin Lovell-Badge, Nobuja Maeda, Terry Magnuson, Anne McLaren, Andy McMahon, Gail Martin, Andras Nagy, Virginia Papaioannou, Oliver Smithies, Davor Solter and Patrick Tam.
