BioMG2801 sgRNA Transgene Mapping Project Overview The goal of this two-part project is to use traditional genetic mapping techniques to map the sgRNA ytg transgene that was inserted into the Drosophila genome. Part one is conducted in labs 2-6 and uses Cross Schemes 5 and 6 to determine if the sgRNA ytg transgene was inserted into chromosome 2 or chromosome 3. Once you determine which chromosome the transgene was inserted into, you will conduct the second part of the project. Part two is conducted in labs 7-11. For Part two you will design a 3-point cross (which you learned/will learn about in BioMG2800) to map the sgRNA ytg transgene to a specific location on the chromosome. A detailed overview and purpose of each step is outlined in this document (below table). You should read this overview in a lab-by-lab manner along with the lecture and other materials for a particular lab. You are welcome to read the entire document at any point, keeping in mind that additional details will be discussed in the lably lecture and readings. sgRNA transgene Mapping Summary timetable Lab 1 --- Lab 2 Set up Generation I of Cross Schemes 5 and 6 Lab 3 Clear Generation I parents of Cross Schemes 5 and 6 Lab 4 Set up Generation II of Cross Schemes 5 and 6 Lab 5 Clear Generation II parents of Cross Schemes 5 and 6 Lab 6 Examine Gen II Progeny analyze results to determine which chromosome the sgRNA transgene was inserted into.

BioMG2801 Lab 2: Set up Generation I of the crosses to begin the sgRNA transgene mapping project. See the Lab 2 Lab manual for detailed protocols. In Lab 2 you will set up generation I of Cross Scheme 5 and Cross Scheme 6: In generation I of cross 5, sgRNA ytg stock males are crossed to stock 103 females. Stock 103 contains a chromosome 2 marker, Curly ( Cy) , allowing us to track the second chromosome. Examination of the phenotypes present in the final generation of this cross scheme will allow us to determine whether the sgRNA ytg transgene has been inserted into chromosome 2. Cross Scheme 5 is diagrammed on the next page (Figure 1). In generation I of cross 6, sgRNA ytg transgene males are crossed to stock 107 females. Stock 107 has a chromosome 3 marker, Drop ( Dr), allowing us to track the third chromosome. Examination of the phenotypes present in the final generation of this cross scheme will allow us to determine whether the sgRNA ytg transgene has been inserted into chromosome 3. Cross Scheme 6 is diagrammed on the next page (Figure 1). The sgRNA ytg transgene has no phenotype of its own, so you need track the sgRNA ytg transgene in your crosses by using a closely linked phenotypic marker gene. You will track the sgRNA ytg transgene by following the closely linked y+ transgene. Flies that have wildtype body color (y+) have the sgRNA ytg transgene. Flies that have yellow body color (y) do not have the sgRNA ytg transgene. You could also follow the sgRNA ytg transgene by following the closely linked v+ transgene, but we will not do this simply because wildtype eye color and vermilion eye color are very hard to tell apart. The results of Cross Schemes 5 and 6 should agree with each other. That is, if Cross Scheme 5 indicates the sgRNA ytg transgene IS on chromosome 2, Cross Scheme 6 should indicate the sgRNA ytg transgene is NOT on chromosome 3 (and vice versa). Notes about Cross schemes 5 and 6 diagrammed in Figure 1 on next page: o The cross schemes are written in shorthand and only indicate the progeny type(s) that will be used in the next generation (not all progeny types are shown). You should diagram out these crosses yourself, making sure you understand all progeny that will be produced depending on if the sgRNA ytg transgene is located on chromosome 2 or 3. (You will be asked to diagram out the generation I progeny of Cross 6 as part of Assignment 3.) o In the second generation, two different genotypes are written for the male parent. The first genotype written places the sgRNA ytg transgene on chromosome 2, while the second genotype written places the sgRNA ytg transgene on chromosome 3. Both genotypes are written since you do not yet know the location of the sgRNA ytg transgene Remember, that is the purpose of these crosses!

Cross Schemes 5 and 6. The purpose of cross schemes 5 and 6 is to determine which chromosome the sgRNA ytg transgene was inserted into. Lab 3: Clear Generation I parents. See the Lab 3 Lab manual for detailed protocols. In Lab 3 you will clear the parents from the Generation I crosses you set in Lab 2. The purpose of clearing the parents is to not confuse the parents with the offspring scored the following lab.
