MGY315H1: Principles of Genetic Analysis II

Laboratory experiments in animal (invertebrate) genetics, using two of the most powerful invertebrate model systems, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. Students are expected to develop competencies in handling invertebrates with small tools, setting up crosses, analyzing phenotypes using microscopes, and carrying out genetic experiments. The course follows MGY314H1. Topics include analysis of genetic networks and pathways, recombination mapping, and phenotypic analyses.
