Gene Targeting

Aim

The course will focus on the use of pro- and eukaryotic in vitro and ex vivo
systems for studying gene targeting by antisense and antigene agents. Transcription and translation
systems for studying gene expression and sequence specific inhibition of transcription (antigene
reagents) and of translation (antisense reagents) will be presented as well as cell culture systems for
antisense targeting. Finally, various techniques for studying sequence specific ligand (protein)-
DNA interactions will be taught.
