Large-scale insertional mutagenesis of a coleopteran stored grain pest, the red flour beetle <it>Tribolium castaneum</it>, identifies embryonic lethal mutations and enhancer traps

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Given its sequenced genome and efficient systemic RNA interference response, the red flour beetle <it>Tribolium castaneum </it>is a model organism well suited for reverse genetics. Even so, there is a pressing need for fo...
