Abstract excerpt
Targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) is a reverse-genetic method for identifying point mutations in chemically mutagenized populations. For functional genomics, it is ideal to have a stable collection of heavily mutagenized lines that can be screened over an extended period of time. However, long-term storage is impractical for Drosophila, so mutant strains must be maintained by continual...
