Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

none

Inhalt:

Seminar talks cover topics concerning the evolution of developmental processes (evo-devo) and interpret investigations in non-model systems in the light of well-understood mechanisms in Drosophila, mouse, zebra fish and other well-understood systems.

In the laboratory course, in small groups projects are pursued related to on-going research in our labs, i.e. embryonic development and organogenesis (limb, gonad and muscle development).

Among the techniques applied are genetic methods (CRISPR mediated genome editing, homologous recombination, systemic RNAi, gene over-expression), detection methods (in situ hybridization, histochemistry, transgenic markers), and microscopy (3D fluorescence microscopy, structured illumination, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy) as well as other molecular and bioinformatics methods

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students will acquire the following skills: they

  • are able to present and critically discuss results of current developmental research articles

  • are familiar with current concepts of developmental biology, including its evolutionary aspects

  • have obtained an understanding of genetic techniques and methods used for analysis of developmental problems

  • are able to independently develop working hypotheses, and to plan and conduct experiments to test these

  • can discuss their results and defend their conclusions in proper context

Literatur:

Review articles will be provided electronically
