Announcements Exam 4 next Wednesday (April 18) Material covered: Lectures 26-34 (3/36-4/13 and ~1/2 of 4/16) Chapters 17, 18, 21, 23 Key terms 10-13 Homeworks 8 and 9 No clicker quiz on Monday
Zebrafish (Daniorerio) House mouse (Mus musculus)
Dog (Canisfamiliaris) Pig (Susscrofa)
In a forward genetic screen, the goal is to "saturate" the genome with mutations such that every gene that might affect a phenotype is mutated at least once. However, some relevant genes may still not be identified, even in a saturation screen.What are some possible reasons for this?
