Techniques/Expertise in the EABRG

qRT-PCR assays  for more than 200 genes controlling reproduction and development	VTG assays for a wide range of fish species

The integrative nature of our research means that we employ a wide range of experimental techniques and methodologies in our research including; gene cloning, qRT-PCR, development and application of DNA arrays, metabolomics, in situ hybridisations, gene manipulation, transgenics, development and application of DNA microsatellites, a wide array of physiology techniques, surgical techniques, histopathology, immunoassays, cell cultures (yeast and primary hepatocytes), laboratory exposures of fish to toxicants (including long term exposures), mesocosm studies, field studies.

DNA microsatellites developed  for population biology studies in roach, zebrafish and otter	With collaborators we have  established /supported establishment of gene arrays for roach, zebrafish, fathead minnow and stickleback
Clones for hundreds of genes controlling reproduction, development and tumourigenesis in various fish species.	Gonadotrophin assays for rainbow trout
