Mouse vs Human Comparative Morphology: Essentials for accurate interpretation of Precision Medicine models. Important notice from the organizers: the whole course will take place in Prague in September Although human and mouse have similar anatomical complexity, in general, the level of morphological knowledge is lower in mice than in men. Nevertheless, an accurate interpretation of… Read more

The course is designed to give practical, hands-on training in current technologies and methods employing programmable nucleases (CRISPR/Cas9) – mediated genome manipulations in the generation of mice mutants. Date: April 16-20, 2018 Place: Prague-Vestec (BIOCEV), Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (hosted by the Institute of Molecular Genetics) Participants will gain theoretical knowledge from our expert instructors… Read more
