Subjects:
Genetic Drift – What It Is and How to Minimize Its Impact on Your Research
The phenotypes of genetically modified mouse strains depend on the genetic mutation and background. Genetic background is subject to genetic drift that may result in phenotypic drift over time. You will learn about the following topics:
– The basis for genetic drift
– Case studies demonstrating genetic drift and its effects on experimental results
– The Jackson Laboratory’s unique Genetic Stability Program to stop cumulative genetic drift
– Steps to ensure the long-term genetic and phenotypic stability of your mutant mice.
When: Friday 1 December from 10:30 – 13:30. Registration starts at 10:00.
Where: University of Bergen, BUS1, Barne- og Ungdomssjukehuset, Haukelandsbakken 15, Bergen.
