A forward-genetic approach for analysis of the immune system.

Abstract excerpt

The completion of the genome sequences of both humans and mice challenges biologists to determine gene function on a vast, whole-organism scale. Both phenotype-based ('forward') and gene-based ('reverse') strategies are being developed to approach this issue. Forward-genetic approaches, however, provide the unique ability of assigning function to genes in an unbiased, global manner that is independent of previous...
