Creating a "hopeful monster": mouse forward genetic screens.

Abstract excerpt

One of the most straightforward approaches to making novel biological discoveries is the forward genetic screen. The time is ripe for forward genetic screens in the mouse since the mouse genome is sequenced, but the function of many of the genes remains unknown. Today, with careful planning, such screens are within the reach of even small individual labs. In this chapter we first discuss the types of screens in...
