VirGen WORKSHOPS
VirGen places students in a virtual genetics laboratory facing the type of questions
that geneticists are often expected to answer. VirGen is an interactive Drosophila
fly crossing program that instructs students in Mendelian genetics skills. VirGen
requires students to infer fly genotypes from virtual phenotypes produced by
the students fly mating decisions. A series of suggested crosses are presented
as workshops to guide students through the SCB122 learning objectives. All the
fly mutations cited are real.
