Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Course on Advanced Techniques in Plant Science

冷泉港实验室正在举办一个关于植物科学先进技术的夏季课程。这是一个为期3周的实验室和讲座相结合的课程，适用于从高级研究生到教师的学生。 科学家来自大学、医学院、研究机构和工业界。 实验室工作包括使用拟南芥作为模式植物的项目，以及一些其他物种，包括玉米和番茄，反映了许多美国和国际实验室当前的研究兴趣。 该课程允许学生利用丰富的基因组资源，并专注于一个系统，因为他们学习更一般的生物学或技术原理正在教授。与此同时，他们将接触到几个系统的最新进展，包括遗传学，基因组学和比较研究。 该课程旨在满足植物科学界对这些领域培训的持续需求。 其目的是（1）向已经参与植物研究的科学家传授最先进的分子技术，使他们能够将这些技术应用于自己的未来研究;（2）向熟悉微生物、动物或植物系统的科学家传授植物生物学的当前研究。该课程包括严格的系列讲座，动手实验室和非正式讨论。 发言者将提供他们的专业和他们的工作深入讨论的概述。 这些演讲者中的许多人将是拟南芥以外的植物系统专家;其他人将是非植物科学家，他们是适用于所有生物系统的学科专家。 实验室课程提供了植物生物学现代技术的强化培训，并加强了讲座中学到的经验教训。

The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is giving a summer course on Advanced Techniques in Plant Science. This is a 3 week combined laboratory and lecture course for students ranging from advanced graduate student to faculty. Scientists come from universities, medical schools, research institutes and industry. Laboratory work includes projects using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant, as well as a number of other species, including maize and tomato, reflecting current research interests in many US and international laboratories. The course allows students to take advantage of a wealth of genomic resources and to focus on one system as they learn the more general biological or technical principals being taught. At the same time, they will be exposed to recent advances in several systems, including genetic, genomic and comparative studies. The course is designed to fulfill a continuing demand within the plant science community for training in these areas. The intention is (1) to teach state of the art molecular techniques to scientists already involved in plant research so that they can apply these technologies to their own future research and (2) to teach scientists familiar with microbial, animal or plant systems about current research in plant biology. The course consists of a rigorous lecture series, a hands-on laboratory and informal discussions. Speakers will provide both an overview of their specialty and an in-depth discussion of their work. Many of these speakers will be experts in plant systems other than Arabidopsis; others will be non-plant scientists who are expert in disciplines that apply to all biological systems. The laboratory sessions provide an intensive training in modern techniques in plant biology and reinforce the lessons learned in lectures.
