About this course
Topics covered include:
- Handling of adult and larvae zebrafish. Manual Morpholino® (MO) injections into fertilized fish eggs
- Fluorescent in vivo microscopy of transgenic larvae zebrafish
- Different screenings (behavior/development/expression)
- Documentation and analysis of treated fish larvae (≤ 5 dpf) and their controls
Learning outcomes
The students will learn about the Zebrafish as a transparent vertebrate model organism in (neuronal) developmental biology and physiology. They will use transgenic (fluorescent) reporter fish-lines and transiently injected morphant fish larvae for (optical) screenings. Students will learn different manipulation and analysis methods in/for zebrafish.
