DNA Mutations - Natural History Museum of Utah
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 12/21/2018
Join Molecular Biologist Eric Bogenschutz to learn how scientists are using genome sequencing, computers, and mice to study DNA mutations that affect human health. See how studying the diaphragm muscle both allows us to learn how tissues are created and what genes may be altered to lead to a nasty developmental disease called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias. Observe firsthand dissected mouse models of CDH we use in the lab to study how the disease develops and how we determine which cells are altered in the disease.
