In previous years specific rotation projects for interdisciplinary graduate program (IGP) students have been designed to enable students to learn PCR, DNA sequencing and tissue culture, techniques that are used in multiple laboratories at Vanderbilt. However, students that are already familiar with these techniques have the opportunity to learn about the gel retardation, in vivo footprinting and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays as well as the use of transgenic mice and adenoviral technology to address questions relating to the regulation of gene transcription and the molecular biology of diabetes.
