| Lab # | Dates | Activity | Outside Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 9/14 - 9/20 | Mutant Hunt | Confirm mutant phenotype and set up first cross |
| 3 | 9/21 - 9/27 | Linkage crosses - heterozygous males with Unc hermaphrodites | Pick hermaphrodites for selfing |
| 4 | 9/28 - 10/4 | Examine phenotypes to determine linkage Mapping: Pick Unc non-Dpy to separate plates |
Mapping: Pick putative double mutants Complementation: cross unknown Dpy worms to wild type males |
| 5 | 10/5 - 10/12 | Mapping: cross double mutants with wild type males Complementation: cross heterozygous hermaphrodites with known Dpy mutants |
Mapping: Maintain Double mutant pick heterozygotes to individual plates Complementation: examine crosses for Dpy MALES |
| 6 | 10/13 - 10/19 | DNA Sequencing Analysis Examine sequencing data to determine the lesion in your gene of interest & significance in gene product |
Bioinformatics: Use Wormbase or other BLAST to learn more about the gene in other species |
| 7 | 10/20 - 10/26 | Complete Mapping SCORE! Find recombinant frequency |
Determine map distance between your Dpy and Unc marker |
