How Genetic Screens Reveal Gene Function
Description
Genetic screens are tools scientists use to reveal gene function and study gene interactions. They work by changing genes and then checking the organism for a trait, or phenotype, that can be seen or measured. This makes them useful for linking a DNA change to a biological effect.

Transcript
Genetic screens are important tools for identifying genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest, and for understanding how genes function in biological processes. Screens are performed in various model systems, including flies, worms, plants, and cell culture, and have led to the discovery of new cellular pathwa...
