Abstract excerpt
By the N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-based gene-driven mutagenesis, it is now possible to obtain allelic series of mutant mouse strains, each of which carries a different base substitution in any target gene. This new reverse genetic tool has become available based on the ENU mutant mouse library. The ENU mutant mouse library consists of dual archives of frozen sperm and corresponding genomic DNA derived from...
