Abstract excerpt
The ability of random mutagenesis techniques to annotate the mammalian genome can be hampered due to genetic redundancy and compensatory pathways that mask heterozygous mutations under homeostatic conditions. The objective of this study was to devise a pharmacologically sensitized screen using the chemotherapeutic drug, 5-fluorouracil (5FU), to induce cytopenia. 5FU dose was optimized in the 129/SvImJ, C57BL/6J,...
