SUMMARY:Nanocourse:  Viruses as Tools for Genetic Analysis
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="color: #68a7bb;"><strong>Lecturers:</strong></span><br><strong><em>Constance Cepko</em></strong>, Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School<br><em><strong>Luk Vandenberghe</strong></em>, Schepens Eye Research Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School</p><p><span style="color: #68a7bb;"><strong>Description:</strong> </span><br>For decades, the unique properties of viruses have been harnessed by biologists as tools for genetic analysis. Currently viruses are employed in a wide range of techniques from basic research to therapeutic approaches. This course will start with an introduction to viral biology and how aspects of this biology can be harnessed for various research applications. We will then discuss two types of commonly used viruses in more detail; Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) and retroviruses.</p><p><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="d058f2be-5200-4e8f-953c-15a01a7c29f5" data-view-mode="hwp_medium"></drupal-media></p>
