"I am making up a set of 4 questions covering the yeast 2 hybrid system, assembling contigs, pedigrees with RFLPs and deficiency mapping. They should be ready for this weekend. The parallel site where I post notes and explanations is having technical problems and I can't access it to make changes or addition-hopefully they'll solve that.In the meantime, above is a practice question (T54 people: it's very slightly different from the one you got!)."
Pam, you wrote this in one of your blog entries way back. I was wondering if you had these questions online? Or if you read this before the tutorial, can you bring it tomorrow?
They are all on this blog, except for the STS one that I could not get formattted properly.
One, for example, is the "FCD" question that people keep referring to in the comments. There's also a 2 hybrid question, a complementation/Df mapping analysis and a transposable elements question.
Check out the archive page relative to the week of March 11th (http://335lounge.blogspot.com/2007_03_11_archive.html)
three of the questions are there.
Also, our review session/extra tutorial was Monday, April 16th. I'll be in the help room, 2519, today (april 23) from 2 to 4 pm.
Cheers
Pam
Whats the difference between complementation group and complementation genes?
I don't know what complementation genes are. A complementation group is a group of mutants that do not complement each other.
For example, if you have 3 mutants, numbered 1 to 3, and all of them give you the same phenotype, but mutant 1 X mutant2 gives you a WT F1, while mutant 1 X mutant 3 gives you mutant F1, then you can say that mutant 1 and mutant 3 are in the same complementation group, while mutant 1 and mutant 2 are in different complementation groups (because they do complement each other).
We expect that mutant 2 X mutant 3 gives a WT F1.
So, we have here 3 mutants, representing 2 complementation groups: one complementation group contains mutants 1 and 3, the other one contains mutant 2.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I am so scared :(
have a good night sleep, a nutritious breakfast, go for a walk on the beach, and you'll be fine. The exam is very doable, really. Just a lot of reading (make sure you take your time to understand the questions), some thinking, and a little writing.
Good luck, everyone!

It's here!!!! OMG...I sure hope the genetics Gods are with all of us today!!! It's raining outside...is this a sign of things to come??? :s
Was anyone able to figure out 7C? I was doing great for time until I stumbled upon that question, I spent about 45 minutes and still couldn't figure it out. What did you all get?
Good for people to know.
