FIGURE 3. Generation of mutants via forward genetic screen.

FIGURE 3

Schematic for a traditional three-generation screen. Generations (P0, F1, F2, F3) are labeled to the left. P0 males are treated with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to induce random mutations, which are driven to homozygosity in the F3 generation using the crossing scheme shown.
