Abstract excerpt
Map-based cloning is an iterative approach that identifies the underlying genetic cause of a mutant phenotype. However, the classic protocol of positional cloning is time-consuming and labor-intensive. We now describe a genome sequence-based cloning approach that has led to localizing the underlying genetic cause of spontaneous fractures (sfx) in a mouse model. The sfx/sfx mouse is characterized by a spontaneous...
