textbooks for teaching fly and yeast genetics

[Julie Brill]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a textbook (available either in print or online) that would be appropriate for a third year undergraduate lab course. The course runs one afternoon (four hours) per week for 12 weeks and includes six yeast and six fly labs.

Ideally, the textbook would cover basic principles of eukaryotic genetic analysis and would have problem sets on topics such as allelism, mode of inheritance, linkage, mapping, synthetic lethality, non-allelic non-complementation, balancer chromosomes, etc. It would also be helpful (but not essential) if there are sections describing more specialized topics such as yeast mating signal transduction and polytene chromosomes.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Julie
