WELLCOME TRUST ADVANCED COURSES
TWENTY EIGHTH ADVANCED COURSE
Molecular Cytogenetics and Microarrays
6th – 16th March 2001
Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK
An intensive laboratory course to introduce participants to the use of
molecular cytogenetic methods and DNA microarrays for the analysis of
chromosome rearrangements. The course will be predominantly laboratory
based, but will include seminars by distinguished speakers who will present
state-of-the-art subjects. During the course, chromosome rearrangements in
a tumour cell line will be analysed by the students using the methods
detailed in the programme below.
Programme
1. Spectral Karyotyping and M-FISH
2. Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (CGH)
3. Chromosome sorting and Reverse Painting
4. Mapping breakpoints with clone contigs and Fibre FISH
5. CGH on genomic DNA Microarrays
6. Expression analysis on cDNA Microarrays
7. Informatics and Data Mining
Informal tutorials will supplement the laboratory sessions.
Course Instructors
DONNA ALBERTSON (UCSF, California), NIGEL CARTER (Cambridge), DAVID VETRIE
(Cambridge), PAT GORMAN (ICRF, London)
Confirmed Speakers include
DONNA ALBERTSON (UCSF), MICHAEL BITTNER (NHGRI), ANN-CHRISTINE SYVANEN
(Uppsala), HANS TANKE (Leiden), MICHAEL SPEICHER (Munich), MIKE STRATTON
