Genomewide two-generation screens for recessive mutations by ES cell mutagenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Forward genetic mutation screens in mice are typically begun by mutagenizing the germline of male mice with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). Genomewide recessive mutations transmitted by these males can be rendered homozygous after three generations of breeding, at which time phenotype screens can be performed. An alternative strategy for randomly mutagenizing the mouse genome is by chemical treatment of embryonic...
