Affymetrix Xenopus GeneChip Now Available (more info)
Revamped Journal of Differentiation has been launched with a new editorial board that includes many Xenopus biologists.
June 17, 2006
The symposium will focus on the establishment of polarity at all levels (cellular, tissue and organism-wide asymmetries) and specifically on the roles of endogenous ion flows in morphogenesis. The Xenopus model system will be strongly represented, and its use illustrated in investigations of morphological and physiological polarity .
APRIL 9-19, 2005
APPLICATION DEADLINE: JAN. 15 2005
This course combines intensive laboratory training with daily lectures from recognized experts in the field. Students will learn both emerging technologies and classical techniques to study gene function in Xenopus development. An important element will be the informal interaction between students and course faculty.
Technologies to be covered will include: oocyte and embryo culture, lineage analysis and experimental manipulation of embryos, gain and loss of function analysis using mRNAs and antisense oligos, whole mount in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR, and genomic/bioinformatic techniques, preparation of transgenic embryos, use of egg extracts to study the cell cycle and use of Xenopus tropicalis for genetic analyses.
I am the co-ordinator of a new 1 year MSc here at Sussex University in Developmental Cell Biology. The first intake will arrive in October 2003. We are keen to expand this MSc in the comming years. We are happy to consider graduates from any field of Biology or Medicine. The programme consists of 4 key courses teaching both the practical techniques and the experimental approaches required to understand development as well as the theoretical background to these processes. A large part of the degree is a Research Project undertaken in one of the active research groups in the School of Life Sciences. Potential research topics range from the control of cell division to the development of human muscle cells and include studies using yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila, Xenopus, chicken, mouse and human cells.
