Course Introduction:
Model animals are powerful tools used for research in genetics, development and neuroscience, which has been helped to get significant achievements in biological research. This course will introduce basic knowledge and new methods for model animals. Through the study from this course, we hope the students can grasp the properties and essential values of different model organisms in elucidating the related developmental mechanisms. For the details, we will select several typical and widespread used model organisms as the teaching topics in this course.
