Genetic Screening

Genetic screen is an experimental technique used to identify and select the individuals who possess a phenotype of interest in mutagenized population. A genetic screen is a type of phenotypic screen. Genetic screen can provide important information on gene function as well as the molecular events that underlie a biological process or pathway. While the genome projects have identified an extensive inventory of genes in many different organisms, genetic screens can provide valuable insight as to how those genes function.
