We measure the topology of volume-limited galaxy samples selected from a parent sample of 314,050 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS), which is now complete enough to describe the fully three-dimensional topology and its dependence on galaxy properties. We compare the observed genus statistic G\nu_f) to predictions for a Gaussian random field and to the genus measured for mock surveys constructed from new large-volume simulations of the LambdaCDM cosmology. In this analysis we carefully examine the dependence of the observed genus statistic on the Gaussian smoothing scale R_G from 3.5 to 11 h^-1Mpc and on the luminosity of galaxies over the range -22.50
