SUMMARY:Mouse Genetics and Colony Management for Animal Technologists
DESCRIPTION:Who is this for? \n\n 	Animal Technicians\n 	Early Career Researchers\n 	PhD Students\n\nThis course introduces animal technicians and researchers to the background of mouse genetics and will cover topics such as Mendelian gene inheritance and genetic crosses\, as well as covering important colony management aspects such as calculation of breeding numbers and maintaining genetic integrity of Genetically Altered (GA) lines.\nAfter the course\, you will be able to:\n\n 	Understand the underlying biology of how DNA codes for proteins and how errors lead to genetic disease.\n 	Understand Mendelian gene inheritance\n 	Predict the outcomes of genetic crosses\n 	Have a working knowledge of the genetic background of mouse strains\n 	Understand how to maintain the genetic integrity of genetically altered lines\n 	Plan breeding schemes with consideration of the minimum number of animals required\n 	Understand how GA lines can be established from modern transgenic technologies

SUMMARY:Laboratory Skills for Animal Technicians
DESCRIPTION:Having the knowledge and confidence to work safely in the laboratory is a valuable skill for all animal technicians. This course will cover basic theoretical and practical laboratory skills including following COSHH risk assessments\, best laboratory practice\, use of fume hoods/biosafety cabinets\, centrifuges and other laboratory equipment\, pipetting skills\, using balances and preparing reagents and solutions.\n\nWho is this for?\n\n 	Animal Technicians who would like to develop their laboratory skills\n\nAfter the course you will be able to:\n\n 	Read and understand the purpose of Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) risk assessment (RA) forms\n 	Process blood samples for further analysis\n 	Correctly use fume hoods\, biosafety cabinets\, centrifuges and other general laboratory equipment\n 	Choose the correct pipette for your task and perform common pipetting techniques\n 	Set up and use balances to accurately weigh both substances and animals.\n 	Calculate doses of substances and prepare them accurately.\n 	Adjust the pH of solutions
