Tracking Mouse DNA Inherited Traits
Description
Mouse DNA tracking helps scientists follow inherited traits across generations. Because mice share a high degree of genetic similarity with humans, they are a common model for studying how genes affect biology. Researchers often change a gene sequence and then look for the phenotype, or visible effect of that change, in the ...

Transcript
Genotyping is the process of detecting the presence, or absence, of specific DNA sequences in a particular organism’s genome.
Since genes can influence a mouse’s phenotype, being able to probe an individual mouse’s genetic make-up, or “genotype,” is critical for attributing a phenotype to a specific gene. This video wi...
