Abstract excerpt
Mutagenesis-based screens in mice are a powerful discovery platform to identify novel genes or gene functions associated with disease phenotypes. An N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen induces single nucleotide variants randomly in the mouse genome. Subsequent phenotyping of mutant and wildtype mice enables the identification of mutated pathways resulting in phenotypes associated with a particular ENU...
