Phenotyping for Functional Genetics, ME:680.712 This course is intended for graduate students or postdocs at any level, who are currently working with, or expect to work with genetically engineered mice, or other animals. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty, and Bloomberg School of Public Health faculty introduce students to phenotyping concepts and experimental design, to mouse handling, mouse genetics and 'normal' phenotypes, and to new and established phenotyping capabilities in multiple disciplines. Phenotyping expertise and resources at JHMI are emphasized. Lecture topics include but are not limited to laboratory mouse genetics and 'normal' phenotypes, genetic engineering strategies for mice (and other animals), traditional and novel imaging strategies, various aspects of neurobehavioral phenotyping, motor phenotyping, metabolic phenotyping, pulmonary phenotyping, clinical pathology and anatomic pathology phenotyping. Laboratory sessions include but are not limited to clinical and physical examination of mice, clinical pathology and anatomic pathology. |
