===Introduction===
* Fertile egg dissections, stage definition, and annotations of structures (first 60 minutes)

* Observation of skeletal preparations of chicken and mouse foetuses (first 60 minutes)
The defining feature of vertebrates is the vertebral column which is composed of a series of structurally similar bone units – vertebrae along the body axis. The segmental pattern of the vertebral column is established during early embryo development when the somites are rhythmically produced from the paraxial mesoderm (Bailey and Dale, 2001). Somitogenesis requires the interaction of two components, referred to as the clock and wavefront (Aulehla and Pourquie, 2010; Pourquie, 2011). The wavefront (determination front) determines the future somite boundary and is created by opposing gradients of FGF and Wnt signaling (caudal-rostral) and retinoic acid signaling (rostral-caudal) in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). At the same time, PSM cells express a number of genes in the FGF, Wnt and Notch signaling pathway in an oscillatory pattern (the clock), and bands of expression appear to move in a caudal-to-rostral direction. When the periodic signal reaches the determination front, a somite can form. Disruption of somitogenesis by genetic mutations results in vertebral defects. For example, in humans and mice, homozygous mutation of the DLL3, LFNG, MESP2, HES7 and RIPPLY2 (Pourquie, 2011) (McInerney-Leo et al., 2015) which are either components or downstream targets of Notch signalling leads to extensive vertebral malformation.
* Group presentation of annotated embryo images (final 30 minutes)

'''LEARNING OBJECTIVES'''


'''''Figure 1:''' Deletion of Dll3 gene casues failure of Notch1 signalling to restrict to a thin stripe of cells. In stead a broad rostral domain of Notch1 signalling is observed (Chapman et al., 2011).''
* Understanding early neurulation, mesoderm and heart development, and being able to identify the defining structures in the chicken embryo.
* Understanding craniofacial and limb development and being able to identify the defining structures in chicken embryos.
* Understanding the development of the musculoskeletal system and being able to identify the defining structures in chicken embryos.
* Be able to apply basic practical laboratory skills and work with embryo and regeneration models.
* Be able to work effectively within a small team to complete academic tasks.
* Be able to present embryonic observations effectively and appropriately to an audience
* Be able to self-manage and work independently with an ability to take responsibility for their own learning, and an appreciation of the value of learning.


In addition to genetic mutations, environmental insults during embryo development may also interfere with somitogenesis. For example, hypoxia during pregnancy can inhibit FGF signaling in the PSM and cause segmentation defects in mice. Heterozygous mutation in the Notch signaling genes increase the susceptibility to segmentation defects when the mice are exposed to mild hypoxia (Sparrow et al., 2012).

==3. Group Projects==
In this practical class we will go through the Group projects and look at progress to date, identifying any specific issues that are impacting on progress.


===Student Capabilities===

# Add sub-headings and text to the group project page and group discussion page/moodle group forum.
[[File:Mouse_vs_Human_embryogenesis.jpg]]
# Add a reference citation to content added to the project page.
# Understand the difference between "original research" and a "review" and how they should be used/cited.
# Upload an image from a research article or other source renamed with a better description of what the image shows.
# Include in the uploaded image summary box the following information:
## A description of what the image shows and how it relates to the group project.
## The reference citation.
## The correct copyright information, showing that the image can be reused in the project.
## The student template <nowiki>{{Student Image}}</nowiki> that explains the student source.


If you are unable to do any of the above you should discuss this during this practical class.
