Describes an experimental cross in mice that can be used to define and map induced germ-line mutations that map to a single chromosome. The cross is a modification and extension of a conventional three-generation recessive mutagenesis screen. Includes: The Mutagenesis Breeding Plan; Consomic Strains; Generating Mutations; Generating and Genotyping G2 Females; Genotyping G3 Progeny; Phenotyping G4 Progeny; etc.. - [Read A Targeted Screen to Detect Recessive Mutations that have Quantitative Effects Protocol]
Microsatellite markers, also referred to as STMS (SequenceTagged Microsatellite Sites) or STR (Short Tandem Repeats) are widely used as molecular markers for intraspecific genotyping, molecular mapping and breeding purposes. The method described is an efficient,fast and relatively inexpensive way to obtain microsatellite markers without post-cloning selection methods. So far, the method has been successful in onion (Allium cepa L.), a plant with a large genome and for pathogenic fungi. - [Read Enrichment for Microsatellite Sequences in Onion (Allium cepa L.)
