A simplified transposon mutagenesis method to perform phenotypic forward genetic screens in cultured cells
Abstract Background The introduction of genome-wide shRNA and CRISPR libraries has facilitated cell-based screens to identify loss-of-function mutations associated with a phenotype of interest. Approaches to perform analogous gain-of-function screens are less common, although some reports have utili...
