Drosophila genetics and genomics
Justin Crocker, Kate O’Connor-Giles, Ella Preger-Ben Noon, Andreas Prokop
The EMBO Practical Course on Drosophila genetics and genomics offers advanced conceptual overviews used to train Drosophila leaders for nearly 30 years paired with hands on introductions to cutting edge experimental techniques taught by experts in the field... OverviewSpeakersProgrammePractical informationSponsorsMedia kit Overview Course overview Drosophila as a model system has remained a powerful driver of biological research for over a century. Emergence of techniques like CRISPR-Cas9, next-generation sequencing, single-molecule(sm) FISH, and single-cell genomics have dramatically expanded the toolkit available for research in Drosophila. These techniques are now routinely applied to answer important knowledge gaps in developmental biology, cell biology, physiology, neurobiology, genome regulation, evolution, behavior and population genetics. This course will cover the latest advances in this direction through a combination of lectures delivered by world-renowned experts and hands-on practical sessions on the above topics delivered by excellent trainers – to help the participants rapidly absorb knowledge towards application for their...
