Abstract excerpt
Positional cloning of ENU-induced mutations has traditionally relied on analysis of polymorphic variation between two strains. In contrast, the application of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has enabled gene discovery in mutant lines maintained on an inbred genetic background. This approach utilizes genetic variation derived from ENU-induced variants for mapping and reduces the likelihood of phenotypic variation,...
