Various classical and molecular genetic techniques using various prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems such as bacteria, yeast, plants, and humans. The lab exercises will be largely inquiry based with a focus on experimental design. Laboratory projects include genetic crosses, analysis of the genotype/phenotype relationship, complementation, linkage mapping, and detection of DNA polymorphisms. Also, bioinformatics tools will be used to perform SNP analysis and analyze sequence similarity.
