Laboratory experiments in bacterial and eukaryotic genetics, with the focus on the fundamental tools of genetic analysis:  mutation, suppression, complementation, recombination and genetic regulation (both epistasis and genetic interactions). Topics and experiments include mutagenesis and genetic selection, linkage and recombination, genetic crosses, gene regulation, suppressor analysis, cell fate determination, genetic interaction profiling, ordering genes in a genetic pathway, and genome engineering.
