Inter Disciplinary Focus Meeting 'Mouse models for alternative splicing'
The goal of the IFM 'Mouse models for alternative splicing' will be to review the state-of-the-art in the generation of mouse models for addressing biological problems and provide examples of how these have been successfully applied to studies of alternative splicing.
