Practical Guide for Designing Genetically Engineered Mice
The class will cover strategies for designing genetically engineered mice. The allele types to be covered include null alleles, point mutations, conditional alleles, and reporter knock-ins.

Bill Shawlot received his Ph.D. from the Baylor College of Medicine and did his post-doctoral training with Richard Behringer at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development at the University of Minnesota, studying mammalian embryogenesis before joining the Texas A&M Institute for Genomic Medicine (TIGM) to help lead TIGM’s efforts in the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program. He has over 30 years of experience in the transgenic mouse field and serves on the External Advisory Committee for the NIH’s Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center program.
If you use the UT ProCard for payment of courses, please be aware that you can only charge ONCE per 24 hour period. Any attempts to charge more courses will fail, and you will not be registered.
For example, you may add one to many courses for one student into your shopping cart at any one time, and charge them to the ProCard, and you should receive a "registration successful!" page at the end. This is because you registered ONCE for ONE student. If you attempt to register and pay again, for example, for a different student, this will trigger the UT ProCard security system to stop payment, and your registration will not be successful. A page stating this fact will occur after you attempt to process payment. It looks a lot like the "registration was successful" page.
Ways to avoid this are: use the ProCard after 24 hours have passed, or the student may use their credit card and be reimbursed later through the usual UT accounting methods, or process the registration with an IDT, otherwise known as an Interdepartmental Transfer (talk to someone in your department that handles the accounts).
