| Read Background information on your Series 2 Forward Genetics Project at [[BISC219/F13:_Gene_Mapping_Info]]. Submit statement of Series 2 experimental question & goals. Outline (or create flow diagram) our experimental process including : Mutant Phenotype description compared to WT; Linkage Analysis; Mapping the Mutation to a chromosome and to a particular chromosomal location; Complementation Analysis; Defining the gene sequence and protein change through DNA sequence analysis; & Bioinformatics to find homologs and to determine if the mutation is new or previously characterized. Write a narrative summary of the investigation. <BR>
| The Data Analysis (results section) on Project 1 is described at [[BISC219/F13: Assignment Help- Data Analysis 1]] Autosomal vs. Sex linked inheritance<BR>  
Diagram the expected results (genotype and phenotype)for the crosses and self-fertilization progeny in the Linkage Testing work. Use only part (through Linkage 2) of the template provided. (The Mapping part of the template will be used next week). Include a narrative description of this experimental design that you have drawn out on the template and summarize what you will be looking for in the results that will allow determination of the linkage group to which your mutated gene of interest belongs.
