Phages, Plaques, Lifecycle, and Recombination: Hartl & Jones (5ed), 6-9; 417-422
(Note: we will ONLY be doing recombination experiments, NOT complementation experiments. Assume all crosses are performed in a way that phage growth and reproduction can take place; only the PLATINGS are potentially limiting. Note also that we are studying the rIIb gene specifically).
