Hi Xenbase, can you post these and send out to the Xenopus community? </p>
<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Thanks, Karen</p>

9-21 April 2015 Cold Spring Harbor Lab <em>Xenopus</em> course:</p>
<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<em>Xenopus</em> is an extraordinary in vivo model for cell and developmental biology. The ease of loss- and gain-of-function approaches allows rapid mechanistic analysis; this can be combined with classic embryological manipulations and state of the art imaging.
As advances in human genomics rapidly expand our list of novel disease genes, <em>Xenopus </em>is emerging as a powerful, high-throughput system for studying unknown gene function.</p>

<strong>For this year's course, we are fortunate to have two fully funded fellowships for applicants who come from non-standard backgrounds (ie, physics, math, computer science, engineering), as well as several half scholarships for people entirely new to <em>Xenopus</em>.</strong></p>
