Hello colleagues,
Here is the last call for applications for the coral gene expression
workshop:
-------------------------
Development and Application of Gene Expression Biomarkers of Coral
Stress and Disease (July 24-31, 2009)
http://isurus.mote.org/Keys/biomarker_workshop_2009.phtml
This 8-day course is for professional scientists and graduate
students interested in gene expression analysis as a diagnostic tool
for coral research. We will cover the basic principles of
quantitative PCR (qPCR), including assay design and calibration,
sample preparation, data analysis, and troubleshooting; and apply
these to compare physiological states of corals from different
ecological settings. The workshop is sponsored by Clontech, Roche,
Applied Biosystems, and Rainin, who will provide reagents and
equipment (including Roche's Light Cycler 480 qPCR instrument).
Instructor: Mikhail "Misha" Matz, University of Texas at Austin
