Agenda, Wednesday October 30, 2019
09:30 – 10:00 Registration
10:00 – 11:00 Reproductive Biology of Mice
Efficiently managing your mouse colonies requires a solid understanding of mouse reproductive biology. In this seminar, you will learn about:
- Basic mouse reproductive anatomy and how to determine the gender of mice at all ages
- The relationship of pregnancy to reproductive states and the oestrus cycle
- Optimising biological and environmental conditions and maximizing breeding performance
- Troubleshooting breeding problems of challenging strains
11:00 – 12:00 Essential Tips for New Mouse Researchers
Are you a new mouse researcher who wants to quickly find mouse strain information essential to conducting your research? During this seminar, we will share strategies for navigating publicly available, information-rich databases and discuss how mouse strain choice impacts research data quality and reproducibility. Join us to learn about:
- Easily finding mouse strains to support your research
- The research value of using proper strain nomenclature in your publications
- Selecting the appropriate mouse strain background
- Choosing optimal control mice
- Ensuring the genetic integrity of your mouse colony
- Cautionary tales from literature
12:00 – 12:30 Refreshment Break
12:30 – 13:30 Advanced Cre-Lox: Generating Reporters, Inducible Mice, and Disease Models
Cre-Lox technology is a widely used and sophisticated tool to create general knockouts, conditional knockouts, and reporter strains. Researchers worldwide utilise these models for a variety of applications, including specific disease research and visualisation of mouse anatomy. Join this seminar to learn about:
- Identifying appropriate Cre-reporter strains to label specific cell populations or to perform mosaic and lineage tracing studies
- Breeding strategies and caveats to generate and use tamoxifen and doxycycline-inducible models
- Implementing Cre-Lox technology to model various types of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and other human diseases
