Optimizing screening and mating strategies for phenotype-driven recessive N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea screens in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotype-driven N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screens in the mouse are being used to elucidate gene function and develop disease models. Many of the earlier screens focused on identifying dominant mutations, whereas many newer mutagenesis programs have arisen that focus on identifying recessive mutations. Recessive screens require more complex breeding and phenotyping procedures, yet little information...
