Join our discussion on molecular genetics in Zoology!
With modern molecular methods, many organisms have become amenable to functional genetics: Next generation sequencing reveals genome sequences and expression profiles with high precision, knock-down of transcripts by RNA interference (RNAi) allows for studying gene function, with genome editing tools the genome can be modified with precision, and gene activity can be visualized by in situ hybridization.
Together, these techniques have opened a plethora of zoological questions for studies at the genetic level. The Göttingen SPIRIT summer school aims to foster this field and the use of these tools in both established and non-conventional animal models.
You can join either the symposium alone or both summer school and symposium.
