Novel gene function revealed by mouse mutagenesis screens for models of age-related disease

Novel gene function revealed by mouse mutagenesis screens for models of age-related disease

Random mutagenesis can uncover novel genes involved in phenotypic traits. Here the authors perform a large-scale phenotypic screen on over 100 mouse strains generated by ENU mutagenesis to identify mice with age-related diseases, which they attribute to specific mutations revealed by whole-genome se...
