本课程的实验设计贯穿以研究基因功能为目的遗传学思维理念及精髓。通过背景知识的介绍和相关的实验操作，使大家建立这样的理念：研究基因功能时，在分子水平通过敲除或者敲入的策略，使基因突变或者修饰，这些突变依赖载体染色体的传递，将稳定地传给下一代。通过设计精巧的遗传杂交实验，追踪易于识别的染色体标记，就可以定位目的基因、获得纯合突变体，研究表型与基因型间的对应关系，从而理解各种表型的分子机制。整个实验过程涉及生物学不同学科知识和实验设计的融合。

通过微观（观察不同物种染色体玻片标本）和宏观（观察携带显性标记基因的平衡染色体果蝇[Balancer]表型，包括第一、第二、第三平衡染色体果蝇）水平染色体观察，了解染色体是代与代之间遗传信息传递的载体。通过追踪染色体上的表型，准确无误地区分携带不同基因型的后代，进而定位和追踪基因。涉及最常用的平衡染色体工具果蝇，以及如何利用染色体倒位从而抑制重组的知识点和原理。显微镜与体视解剖镜的使用。

提供详细的果蝇唾腺染色体制备演示视频，通过亲自解剖果蝇的唾腺组织，在载玻片上经过一系列的处理制备唾腺染色体，体验简便的唾腺染色体制备方法。实验材料可以选择黑腹果蝇Drosophila melanogaster，也可以选择大果蝇Drosophila virilis。视频讲解和PPT都提供根据端部横纹特征准确无误识别2个物种的每条染色体的清晰图谱。

介绍黑腹果蝇在生物学上的分类地位及作为模式动物在遗传学及生物学研究中的地位、介绍识别雌雄及各种突变体的要点和突变体的重要性，观察代表性突变体的同时区别雌雄。

只用一种基因型的母本和另外一种基因型的父本果蝇杂交，观察和计数分析子二代的果蝇表型和数量，就可以同时验证遗传学的几大定律：分离定律，自由组合，伴性遗传，连锁和交换。学生从挑选处女蝇与雄性果蝇杂交做起，首先获得子一代的雌雄个体，自交后再获得子二代的个体，前后历时4周。在此期间学生亲自保管自己的果蝇杂交瓶，观察果蝇从卵、幼虫、蛹到成虫的发育过程和各种行为，以日记的形式详细记录观察结果。我们将提供压缩视频，供大家详细观察果蝇从卵、幼虫、蛹到成虫的发育过程。

通过计数子一代或者子二代玉米果穗上不同表型性状的玉米籽粒数量，推测可能的亲本基因型，涉及多种基因互作的比例。本基因互作的验证实验，作为经典遗传实验规律验证的一个补充。从数据分析的角度，是通过后代表型性状的比例反推亲本的基因型，而上一个果蝇杂交实验亲本的基因型是已知的。

介绍基因功能研究策略的背景知识，以被誉为果蝇遗传学家瑞士军刀的Gal4-UAS系统原理和灵活多样的使用为基础，说明如何通过遗传策略实现目的基因的敲除（敲低）或过表达。转基因果蝇的构建流程和如何利用平衡染色体定位转基因发生在哪条染色体上；果蝇复眼和翅（作为基本问题研究的窗口）的特点介绍等。具体实验：利用简单高效的FLP/FRT 重组系统，通过遗传杂交获得纯合突变克隆，实现体内对纯合突变基因（包括致死基因）功能的研究。

正向遗传学策略，以EMS诱变果蝇，筛选两类表型：1. 睡眠异常表型；2.根据翅的表型筛选与Notch、Hedgehog以及Wingless信号通路相关的基因。然后以平衡染色体为路标工具，确定突变的基因是什么。反向遗传学策略，针对携带P因子插入的基因品系，通过遗传杂交，获得该基因的突变体。进一步对突变体的功能进行研究：通过rescue实验确认基因突变与表型的特异性的对应关系；确定内源基因表达在哪里（原位杂交, 抗体染色等）；基因间的相互作用，上下游关系的确定；细胞（神经元）间的相互作用等。

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
