In the tutorial I will explain why and how researchers are using the mouse as a model for human genetic disease. I will give an overview about the various methods to study gene and protein expression in the developing mouse embryo, and how researchers manipulate gene function in mice in vivo. This tutorial will greatly facilitate your understanding of the research articles that you will read for your group projects.
