Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an advanced course for the genetic model system C. elegans, covering classical forward and reverse genetics, as well as more recent methods of targeted genome editing. A basic understanding of genetics is essential for this course. Completion of the following introductory lecture series is therefore recommended: VO 300557 Principles in Genetics and Developmental Biology.
