Abstract excerpt
A refined functional map of a 6- to 11-centimorgan region surrounding the albino (c) locus in mouse chromosome 7 is being generated by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU) "saturation" mutagenesis of stem-cell spermatogonia. In the first phase of an experiment that will eventually test at least 3000 gametes, we screened 972 mutagenized gametes for the induction of both lethal and visible mutations with a two-cross...
