Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is an indispensable tool for identifying causal mutations obtained from genetic screens. To reduce the number of causal mutation candidates typically uncovered by WGS, Caenorhabditis elegans researchers have developed several strategies. One involves crossing N2-background mutants to the polymorphic Hawaiian (HA) strain, which can be used to simultaneously identify mutant strain...
