C. elegans Mutagenesis Service

Mutagenesis can be induced by a variety of chemical agents, with a specific array of favored lesions and mutation frequencies. Chemical mutagenesis is a whole-genome profiling of mutagenesis for forward genetic screens and target-selected mutagenesis. This approach is the easiest and most straightforward way to be scaled up for systematically inducing germline mutations at high frequency, providing a new strategy for the breeding of new varieties and the establishment of animal models of diseases.
