Unlocking the bottleneck in forward genetics using whole-genome sequencing and identity by descent to isolate causative mutations
Forward genetics screens with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) provide a powerful way to illuminate gene function and generate mouse models of human disease; however, the identification of causative mutations remains a limiting step. Current strategies depend on conventional mapping, so the propagation o...
